I remember when someone said before the turn of the century. It meant something different.

Remember the near hysteria and angst of 2000? Recall a frenzy of thousands (millions) stocking up on food, water, going to the ATM withdrawing enough money to last a month with the "turning of Y2K". Rather an uneventful change. Yawn.

I remember when
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space

And when you're out there, without care
Yeah I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly

And now that you are having the time of your life
Well think twice
That's my only advice

Come on now, who do you
Who do you, who do you
Who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control?
Well

I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart
To lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember, is thinking
I wanna be like them
Mm hmm ever since I was little
Ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably ooh hmm

I remember the story that my grandmother use to tell me about her 2 brothers that died on the same day. They were working the fields and one of the brothers had an appendicitis attack so they threw him in the the wagon and headed into town to see the doctor. Along the way into town the wagon hit a rock which threw the other brother out of the wagon and he hit his head on the rock itself killing him instantly. All the while the first brothers appendix ruptured and he also died on the way into town. By the time they got into town she had lost both of her brothers.

I still remember walking barefoot to the country store on the hot angry asphalt roads in the middle of summer, running from shade spot to shade spot collecting pop bottles along the way. Grabbing a Eskimo pie a bag of peanuts, a bag of plain M&Ms and a RC Cola from the vending machine, I would give the owner a quarter and get a nickel back.
I also remember my mother giving me $5.00 to pick her up a "carton" of cigarettes and have her raise hell with me because I had to tell her they raised the price by a nickel. I remember when metal pop cans went to aluminum. But most off all I remember my father bringing home a microwave oven in 1970 and baking a potato in 8 minutes. My grandfather was astonished and looked up at everyone and said "Well...there goes patience as we know it.".....he was right.

Great recantations. So sad to hear of family woes. My mom told me of 2 elders that died from botulism from eating canned pears. I stayed away from canned pears (manufactured or home canned) for years hearing that sad story.


Yep, remember when candy bars were a nickel.


In the 9th grade, school lunches were $.30. All that year I drank a milk for lunch ($.05) pocketing the quarter each day. By year's end and odd jobs around the neighborhood (door to door washing cars for $1.00), I bought a nice Alvarez nylon string guitar.
