I'm so old I Remember when:

[The Moonshiner]

I heard some got caught when the emergency alert test happened.

Caught by who? They don't try to hide it here.

 

[notabitail]

Caught by who? They don't try to hide it here.

I suppose their elders.

Some try to hide it, as far as I know.

Sheesh. What's the world coming to when you can't even trust the Amish?

*Yes. That's partially sarcastic as I know as a group they're very good people and mostly honest, quite hard-working, and somewhat innocent. But they're still human and there's good and bad in any group.

I think it’s interesting that we were just talking about Peter Criss last night. Found out today is his birthday!

I remember when they had planes on a string with little fuel powered motors.
You'd fire them up then hold the end of the string and let them fly around you in a circle.
Pity the fool sibling that walked into their line of flight.

I had a radio controlled one. My dad brought me to the elementary schools parking lot to fly it on a Saturday or Sunday. On its maiden voyage unbeknownst to us it had a leak in the fuel line. It ended up in a billion parts when it nosedived to the asphalt. Good memories

My stepson had a rc plane once. Once. We took it to the park and he thought he knew what he was doing. Flew it too high, lost control, and it landed on the water tower

The jet model plane I posted the picture of lost contact and landed in a briar patch. The retrieved it wearing Bermuda shorts and came back with severely scratched and bleeding legs. He had the plane in one hand and Ber Rabbit in the other.

I'm so old I remember people not sealing letters they mailed because the stamps cost less for them not being sealed. I don't know if that is an option now or not for private/personal mail.

It especially applied to Christmas cards. I don't believe it is an option any more.

I'm so old I remember getting the new school pictures taken with large format sheet film. I can remember the sounds made when the photographer was taking the film holders in and out of the camera. He sure was slap happy and the noise was crazy loud.
