Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

tupperware parties, bowling, norman rockwell commemorative plates... you could still smoke in restaurants...leave it to beaver...the tv had four channels....



victory gardens....we had a whole cold war stockpile in our basement...we grew corn, beans, tomatoes...we had apple trees...and moms would freeze or jar all that ***and write the date on the tops of the jars....big old freezer down there you could kill a deer....(or a moose if you were a donnie)... or buy half a cow and wrap all the cuts up in butcher paper and write what they were on the outside....freeze it for winter.

it's hard to imagine but my grandma grew up in a house with no electricity or running water and rode a horse and buggy...and she wasn't even amish... she couldn't have imagined the two of us talking to each other over the internet on our cell phones having never met in person...

and the transition was a gradual process despite you waking up in the latter part of it...holy ***you should have seen our clothes!

but yeah... hillbillies and donnies are probably the only people that freeze meat in modern times...you couldn't always drive to a Whole Foods and buy a salmon fished up in washington state and a leg of lamb from new zealand....man did then suck...
