I had friends up to and through High School, and then they became associates, the majority that is, afterwards..... a true friend is rarer than the best steak.

Oh...a thread in my taste..
I remember my old man sending me to get gas for the lawn mover, with a 10 kronor bill (yeah, I'm swedish. 10 kronor is about $ 1.50 in todays value), and a 5 liter gas can. I'd fill the can, buy the evening news for the old man AND still have money left for som candy. Those where the days...

Hell yeah! I remember my mom pulling into the gas station (gas was $.24 a gallon) and telling the attendant "fillerup", check under the hood, and a free drinking glass with every fillup. Man, things have changed.....
Oh yeah!Crashed mine into the trees.Hard. You should have seen all the "stolen" lighters that got shook lose. I had a lot of apoligizin to do.

.02 deposit X 5 pop bottles = one 10 cent popcicle. the popsicle came in a bag.
pop tasted better made with sugar... 5 cents.
my first lid was measured from a lid of a commercial pickle jar, and i carried it away in aluminum foil, scared spitless. cost: $10. strain: your guess. smell: ammonia. this was 1965.
"You needed a record album cover to "clean" weed." the lid of a shoebox was best, cause the surface was grainier and you would use the paper packet to scoop the weed and drop it on the cardboard making the seeds to roll down...
the first bong i saw was bamboo, 1969. a viet nam vet turned me on to it.

i remember skylarks being everywhere ( not many looked like that) the skylark was Buick's answer to the Chevy nova. don't even remember the year but my best friend had a skylark handed down to him that would not die. had some great times with that car.
remember the pacer/vega/gremlin ....... not the best ideas detroit ever had.

doing your windows, air pressure, and checking your oil. ONLY the "man with the star" COULD actually pump the gas. It was a Texaco station And yea gas was about 25c a gallon. 1968, Dallas area anyway.
Anybody remember Tony The Tiger, "Put a Tiger In Your Tank".............................
