O' yes our lamp lighter didn't have a ladder just a long wooden pole. Cigs 2.50 a carton and gas 24.9. learned to drive in a 29 model A pickup and my first car was a 50 ford followed by 55 studabaker. Mexican lbs. 100.00 and purple osley, 4way sunshine and purple microdot for 30.00 a hundred.

Yep,, I remember the "Studebachers". That was my grandpas' favorite car,, he finally did give in though. Bought one of them there "Henry Ford Thingamabobs" lol
He meant "Maverick",,,,,,, and it was '76 before he gave in though!!
He was a "chicken farmer",, we all worked several jobs.
It came in handy later in life though,, I've very nearly always worked 3 jobs
as a norm,, let alone "normal life".
I've been ill for awhile now,, but still do my best. I was a "Blacksmith",
a "weldor" (new age term, lol), I shot landscape photos, portraits, and more,
even been a fishing guide when asked.
I'm not sure right now what I'll do in the future,
but I do look forward to leavin' some of the present behind, lol.................
Take Care,, Stay Safe........... the "iron" guy*












































*a lil rusty today........... doc
and more.

Well, I have to admit it -- all 25 be in my cranium, as I remember every single 1. Never could stand that Blackjack Chewing Gum. Plus my pals used to chew those wax Coke bottles after drinking the juice inside. I couldn't handle that.
Jeez, I am 1 old son-of-a-bitch. :yoinks: :badday: :joint:

24 out of 25.

Be honest, any of you lust after Annette, or at least parts of her?

And there was the Papa burger, the Mama burger, and the Baby burger - at A&W, which alas, doesn't taste the same.

Holy shit!! :yoinks:...A lamp lighter? For the street lights? :chin:

Was Thomas Edison a good buddy of yours? You & Beethoven used to split a fifth?:D :confused:

We used to get the Mexican lbs for $130 in Chicago & the purple microdot, orange barrel & 4-way hits of windowpane all were $1.50-$2.00/hit. Gas was a little more costly at 26.9 regular & 29.9 premium.
But I've always had electricity. :wave:

I remembered 'em all.
How about
-wooden phone booths with a seat, fan, door, light and a little table to write on.
-$50.00 used cars
-little plastic inserts for 45's or even older a cylinder
-no self-serve gas stations, in fact when you drove in 2 or 3 guys would come out and in addition to pumping your gas would check your water, oil, tire air pressure, battery, and clean every dam window, all without you asking.
-record players that would fit inside your glove compartment
-girls who would douche with Coke
-kilo's of Mexican weed for $100.00, $10.00 4 or 5 finger lids of Acapulco Gold.
-Panama Red
-Nickle candy bars
-Nickle 7.5 oz. Cokes from a machine
-Drug-store grills
-Kids selling newspapers from street corners
-girls who would rather die than give head
-You could buy stuff for a penny
-Guys who had finger-fucked some girl the night before and would let guys smell their finger the next day in school.

Dam near, or give a good run at it for sure.

I remember all that stuff, I really liked Howdy Doodie on the round B & W TV with 3 channels (2 were on to 9 PM!). Gas at 19.9, cigs for $.20 and 9 out of 10 doctors smoked Camels - it said so right there on the TV.

But I ain't old yet, just getting into the swing of things now.

peace
