I am one of those that walked a couple of miles to school in the snow. Our coat room always smelled like a wet dog. TV? I was a teenager before we had TV, remember the tiny screen? It was like watching TV through a fish bowl. I couldn't figure out why when you turned the TV off and then back on the next morning why it wasn't the same program. I still like today better. I love having a cell phone so my children can call me anytime anywhere.
