I can only make a WAG how many thumbs and fingers were broke.. I think they are outlawed in just about every state.. I know some semi-tractors have them embed in the steering wheel that releases when in reverse use only..

KNOB was a jazz radio station years ago and **** down. This is the new KNOB.

I'm so old I remember when biology was science and not political science.

Things might be changing. The kid has had 2 phone interviews with another agency. Retirement might be put on hold.

Crystal radio sets

Baby Snooks on the Radio

Rationing

Knowing what Cowboy star had a horse named "Tony"

Woodrow. You make me feel young! Rationing? I only remember my mom still having some of the stamps.

But I do remember crystal radio sets. I built one in the early '60s that worked like a champ.

I remember when I first learned to drive on an old Ford Pick up with the starter on the floor. Right foot on the brake and gas, left foot holding down the starter, then after the engine fired, trying to get it in gear and back up out of the shed without stalling, or letting it roll into the workbench.
