Sorry, double message

I remember all 15-how can I be older than dirt at 48???

What about 78 rpm records? does that make me older than rock?`

Older than dirt, too!

I AM older than dirt. And I also remember:

toothpaste in metal tubes

soot from steam engines on the clean wash and laundry frozen on the line

clothesline props

pens by the railroad tracks to water, feed and rest cattle from the cars

rubber girdles

eating in a B&O dining car

sleeping in a berth in a Pullman car

the Davy Crockett craze

the first polio vaccinations

tuberculosis sanitariums

riding on a street car

when Dairy Queen came to our town

lunch counters in every drug store

galoshes with those darn buckles

traffic cops at every intersection

newsboys crying papers on street corners

"Post No Bills" notices on walls

five cent candy bars, dime Cokes and 10 cent comics.

Roy Rogers and Trigger, Jr. live on stage

radio shows--Edgar Bergan, the Shadow, FBI in Peace and War

third run movie houses

how to make starch and how to iron

the WWVA Jamboree live from the Virginia theater

industry thriving, employees proud and hard working

hair nets

deposits on glass bottles--5 bottles collected earned you 10 cents, the cost of a soda

modest swimsuits

corporal punishment at school followed by corporal punishment at home

the sound of a calliope on a showboat

shoe repair shop and cleats to make the shoes last longer

hat blocking and fur remodeling

and, honest, one year, fourth grade I think, the teacher made us bring inkbottles and DIP PENS to practice Palmer Method Penmanship. We could still buy steel nibs at the confectioner's.
