Dime pay phone booths

The last time I saw what I call the old tv Superman’s phone booth was in Epcot

And now that I think about it

When’s the last time I have seen a pay phone ???

Sounds about right. My uncle went there and he wrote about it in his book.

We went to the tar pits and Griffith ages ago. I would love to do those again now that I'm older.

Cabrillo was quite nice. We went there lots.

Olvera street is quite nice. I don't know if I've got too many photos from last time (June 2023).

I still love going to museums and stuff. Especially the ones in pretty buildings.

I just ran across these photos of Olvera Street being constructed, the top is 1926 and the bottom is 1930. Note Los Angeles City Hall in the second photo. It was built in 1928. I've always loved that building.

My son's school has one! There are no electronics allowed, so none of the kids have cell phones.

I used to play croquet all the time and the most damage was from swinging the mallet around and hitting myself or someone else .

We used to have such nice games, though, thanks for reminding me of those times .

I would be playing barefoot and I guess I wouldn’t be paying that much attention to when
the balls would be coming my way

I was always barefoot in the summertime

I only started wearing sandals when they made it a law in Mobile sometime after 1981
no shirt no shoes no service

I used to be a crack croquet player. One of the only games I can think of where the objective is as much to make someone else lose as it is to win yourself. Wonderful but evil game!

Oh yeah I forgot
Hit their ball off course

Exactly. When faced with a choice between proceeding to your hoop or going back to send another player into the bushes, it always pays to be mean!

AKA Chicken Licken, and sometimes Chicken Little.

Could have been Chicken Little that got hit in the head and Henny Penny was another character in the book or even in another book. I had forgotten Chicken Little. Been so many decades gone by in a flash since I was in the first grade.
