I'm so old I remember... (buying, tank, wedding, check)

[square peg]

Gawd, people smoked everywhere! I remember when I got an office at the bank I worked at in the 70s; It came complete with an ashtray on the desk.

I'm so old that I remember seeing signs at most every gas station around that they would take no bills bigger than a $20 at night. $20 doesn't make much of a dent in the gasoline tank anymore.

I remember these too ILNC...I also remember listening to 'The Lone Ranger' on the radio, and then when I got my first car, pulling into a gas station and telling the attendant to put in $1.00 worth of gas (@.@29 cents a gal.) and then he'd also wash my windows!

I remember when we weren't taxed to death.

What I made in 1961 would not even pay the taxes on my home now days.

Actually, the one Square Peg showed in the picture might be either an older Cessna T-50, or the Beechcraft 18. I can't tell because the picture doesn't show the entire aircraft.

I wasn't around when that show was on, but they might have replaced the aircraft with the Cessna 310 later.
