I'm so old when I get to the store I've forgotten what the list is for. I remember when I didn't need a list.

When you got on an airplane, you walked out on the tarmac.

And there was a non-smoking row of seats

I can remember playing with the ash tray lids on the arm rests as a kid. I can't believe smoking was even allowed on airplanes!

I'm sure you had carbon paper too.

I still have my manual typewriter and a whole stack of carbon paper.

Person to person long distance calls.

Is that what they were called? I remember when you had to book a long distance call for a certain time through the operator. Or was that different. Weren't they called trunk calls or something?

I remember full service gas stations. They would pump your gas, check your fluids and air, and clean your windshield. I really miss those.

Come to New Jersey - we still do it that way - and nobody wants to change it!

Not a fan of flying. A smoke and stiff drink would help.

I remember having the operator make long distance calls for you.
