I'm old enough to remember the radio stations having "Bee Gee free" weekends

I remember when the back two rows on the school bus were the smoking section.

Was this before the Bee Gees?

Was this before the Bee Gees?

Our local rock stations were very anti Bee Gee.

I can understand that. Disco wasn't for everyone

I didn't mind Disco music. But I hung out with the Lynyrd Skynyrd crowd, so I kept that under my hat.

Remember when bread was delivered, like milk?

There was a bakery, Viking Bakery, in Connecticut. A couple times a week their truck would stop at the house and Tony the driver would knock on our door. He had a big box of baked goods, pastries, cookies, including limpa bread, and my mother would buy some. I miss limpa bread.

We had the Helms bakery truck every weekday (VERY popular!), the (very early morning) milkman, and about weekly, the Charles Chips potato chip van (they came in HUGE round tins, delicious). This was Marietta, Georgia in the 1960s. Then we left the suburbs for the country where NOTHING was delivered (homes were too far apart) and we had to haul our household trash to the local dump. My little brother and I LOVED dump-days: "Wow, can you believe someone threw this out??? Can we take it home?" It was surrounded by pig farms, so the dump+pig poop stench was...memorable.
