Then I remember My Dad making coffee every morning with the one below on the Left. I have one of the older ones (right) in the garage.

We have a french press.

That reminds me of the technical writing class I took, where we were taught to construct resumes/CVs with attractive tables.

Then, applicant tracking systems arrived​

• And the software can’t understand bullet points or tables.

That's because it doesn't need a table or a gun to work.

I'm so old I remember traveling on the old two lane roads up through the mountains between FL and Ohio. There were many drop offs going almost straight down on curves. As you would start rounding the cure someone had put up a hand written sign saying "Prepare to Meet Thy God". I'm imagine a lot of people did. This was the place where Moonshine was a popular beverage. Still was in the 60's I know for a fact.

I remember driving in Kentucky past the place where the bus went off the road back in 1988.

I have no idea but once in a long while I get a frozen one for under $3.

No one was going to be happy if my mom didn't get her percolated coffee in the morning.

Ain't momma happy, ain't nobody happy.

How much is it now?

$8.

I remember all you could eat flounder and fries dinners at Howard Johnsons for $1 on Wednesday evenings.

Speaking of pizza, once in the early 70's we were on our way from beautiful central upstate NY to the horse races down in Monticello. We stopped somewhere near Liberty to get a bite. Since my siblings and I were all pre- and young teens Dad figured we could handle a large pizza between the three of us while the adults ate other food at a separate table. We sat at a square table that was somewhere between two-and-a-half to three feet across. We enjoyed the show as the chef threw our dough, spinning it larger and larger until he was satisfied and rested it on his floured counter. Then ladled the red gravy and dotted it with toppings and finally handsful of cheese. That pizza looked large but we didn't realize just how large until he brought it to our little table where it overhung the edges on all 4 sides. Yes we three devoured the entire thing. It was delicious authentic NY thin crust pizza and to this day that stop off is a very fond memory and one of the tastiest pies I've ever shared with any one. It cost my Pop less than $10.
