I remember the button my sister had, given her by a friend:
"You're out of this world, Sputnik!"
And a friend of mine had a horse named Sputnik.

I remember when gas stations were also service stations. Changed oil, did inspections, fixed all kinds of things.
Now you're lucky if they pump gas for you.

3 sort of local. One here, one in a town about 12 miles away (that's local by local standards)
and another a bit south of here.


There's also a phone booth in a town about 10 miles south of here. Not the kind Superman used. Just a pay phone hanging on the wall. Guess that's not a phone booth, just a public pay phone.

I remember when we had season tickets to the Dodgers at the Memorial Coliseum, in the 50's!

I remember as a kid "smoking" candy cigarettes. They came in packs that looked like the real thing and they even appeared to be lit on the end.
