I remember when mileage on a car got close to a round number you'd drive around the block and watch it actually change. Can't do that with these new digital things.
A friend showed me about using a wet sponge for the stamps so we didn't have to lick any more. We thought that was high tech.
I'm so old I remember the citrus groves and smudge pots (for preventing frost on the trees). Los Angeles Basin. The groves were still there in between all the houses that had been built. Sometimes there would be think gray smoke in the air, and you could smell it. That all disappeared in the mid-60's, probably even earlier.
I'm so old my friends and I would go to the original In N Out in Baldwin Park (not the one near the freeway, the original one is no longer there) after classes at high school. It was up near the flood control dam. Everything tastes the same now as it did then. Back then they had onion rings. but they don't anymore.
Who else here remembers the actual first In N Out?!
Movies used to start late morning and run continuously until almost midnight--the featured film--often a "double feature"--previews of coming attractions, a newsreel, maybe a cartoon, sometimes a short film--and ushers with flashlights to show you to a seat since the theater was in darkness.
