Now I'm getting disgusted with life as it is now.

easy boss. relax with a Grape Nehi. They're making it again, and largely tastes just like they did over 50 years ago.
i always wanted to see the rest of that Nehi "chickadee" with the legs btw ...
Damn I hated those freaking plastic covers! Freeze and slide all over the place in the winter, sweat and stick in the summer and really hot in the sun.
I made a rule that has stayed with me all my life. It concerns all my possessions, "I bought it, I'll wear it out"!!

YES!!!
We grew up in the same neighborhood, didn't we.
"Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin' " ...
my first knowledge of CBs was around '72-'73 (when i started jr. high school and i didnt have a car) but i started seeing the cool whip-like antennas on cars/vans and didnt know what it was,
to 3-4 years later (in late HS when I did have a car) and the "Bandit" lit up his TA tires on the big screen, and I was "breaker breaker, blah blah" like a rube and irritating truckers,
through early 80's (i was in college by then and didnt care .. too busy studying and stuff) when my graduation car (a three year old Dodge Mirada) had one from the factory.
But the fad was largely over by then .. i used it once or twice finding only irritated truckers telling me to get lost (still have the car and the radio tho).

LOL not exactly unless you recognize the beer sign pic.
Believe me I've come across many house's in the country that had basements with no means of escape and in states that have very stringent fire codes. I just look at the people that have bought a house with no bulkhead door to the basement and shake my head, clueless, and the houses weren't built that long ago (50's).
may still be around .. last one I ever saw was circa 1975(?) when my mom pitched the aluminum tree.
Zodiac window stickers .. another 70's fad in excess.

Love the directions, way over any snowflakes head that would be.
flew a micro-drone though a window he left open ....
mens platform shoes. mid-1970's -- non believers just watch Saturday Night Fever.
As ridiculous as I looked in them looking back at the incriminating photo evidence -- the prom, disco night, etc. -(and heck im already 6' 4'' too, i felt like I was wearin' frickin stilts), i DID have my wide, condor wing lapels to aid me in gliding to the floor after I tripped and fell on ANY stairwell
