    I have one pair of shoes I wear infrequently that requires the assistance of a shoe horn. I use an old credit card though.

    You know, any of us the between their 50's and 70's, we grew up in the best country in the word in the best years after WWII. I had a coon skin cap and 2 gun belt holster cap guns. I did more than any kid today ever will by the time I was ten. And I could go on and on.....

    And the important part is we lived to talk about it. Usually covered in that mercurochrome or had to get a few stitches, but lived. When you think about some of the stupid things you did now you really ask how you survived.

    My junior year in HS had me hitchhiking home almost every day. We lived 7 miles from school. We rarely knew who it was that was giving us a ride.

    How many Polaroid instant cameras are in use today. We have one somewhere still but I haven’t seen film in a long time.
