The gasoline smell on shoes thread reminded me that I am old enough to remember when gasoline actually smelled good.
And I thought it was because my sense of smell had changed so much over the decades. I used to hang my head out of the car window to smell the gasoline fumes when my dad filled the tank. This was in the 1950s. I don't necessarily dislike the smell of gasoline today but it sure doesn't smell like it did 50-60 years ago.
Hey. We're so old that we remember when dropping your cell phone on your toe would have hurt.
O yes... when I first worked at the space center I had a " Mobile Phone" had to call the " Watts" Line to make a call.. phone the size of a standard red brick.. with a brief case size battery with a 6 foot cord.. and shoulder strap
Then had the best pure " Vanilla " for baking...
and Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner door to door... the hassock canister size.. in Coral Pink or Sea Foam Green
I'm so old I remember... Auto's with vinyl seat covers... burn the back of your legs in the summer.. and make one hel of a static discharge in the winter.. especially if you were the kid in the nylon snow suite sliding back and forth on the back seat.. seeing we had no seat belts..

my first mobile phone was like that. Had to carry it around when I was on call.
