The best thing about growing old is looking back .... Lots more small businesses and skilled people working in trades, and passed down through generations: house painters, electricians, fix-it guys .

A typical family had one car. Most moms stayed home w/kids, watching soap opera's, and being very domestic: cooking, cleaning, sewing. Neighbors were like family, and milk was delivered to our door.

Families actually ate meals together, always cooked at home (no take-out), and Sunday dinner was special. Speaking of Sunday .... most businesses were closed, and people stayed home, or just traveled to visit relatives. The term "Sunday Driver" came from a slow recreational drive on roads without traffic.

Yes, I could go on and on ....
