I remember when the $100,000 Pyramid was the $10,000 Pyramid. It was the $25,000 Pyramid in between.

The only game show I liked.

I remember when it was safe for kids to play outside all day, rode bikes without helmets and cars did not have seat belts.

Yep, played outside til dark, barely making it home on our bikes for dinner. No one ever bothered us, followed us, attempted crimes. I guess we had it extraordinarily good back then.


No seat belts for little kids...I used to stand up beside my dad when he was driving, with my left arm around his neck....wow.

We started school the 1st Monday after Labor Day and as usual there was always a end of the year heat wave like we are having now. 102F at 12:00 PM.

Those kids that could ditched school and headed to the LA County Fair.
