I'm so old I Remember when:

[casportpony]

I wanted one so bad it hurt. My Dad couldn't afford to buy it for me. My Grandfather made a large rocking horse for me instead. He used my Grandmother's old fur coat to cover it, belts for reins and big buttons for eyes. I named it Buttermilk after Dale Evans horse.

I bet it was beautiful!

When you filled up at an Esso gas station the attendant would attach a Tiger tail to the fuel filler pipe. The Tiger tail would hang out of the fuel flap door. Esso motto was, "Put a Tiger in your tank".

I'm so old, I remember when Esso was Standard Oil. My grandfather was a ship captain transporting for them.
