I remember seeing free concerts and smoking pot at the local Courthouse Park.

My great Aunt Edith had a mink stole. She died when she had a stroke and fell on the church steps on Sunday morning after having attended a service.

A friend and I are just reminiscing about when all furniture and appliances came pre-assembled. Then some gifted, unschooled "mechanic" proved he could fix cars and we were all in trouble.

I’m so old I remember when I could buy a cup of coffee for a nickel and a donut for a dime. And you could smoke inside the café as well.

I have one of those fox fur shoulder wraps with the glass eyes in the head. Got it at an auction years ago. Would be great as a "primitive outfit" at SCA or a Renaissance Faire. Maybe I should dig it out and list it on ebay.

I remember when my older sister got her drivers license..

... and she'd drive to the Esso station with a quarter for gas so the cute guy with the uniform would wash the windsheild.
I was younger and didn't get it.
