I'm so old I Remember when:

I haven't seen an ice cream truck in a few years but we do have paleteros, Hispanic men who sell ice cream out of push carts.

Plenty of those in Exposition Park in CA.

I remember... back when I could fall asleep easily... and then sleep the sleep of the young, the innocent, and the pain-free!!!

Yeah... now, if I could just relive those days...

Nah... if I slept like that now... it would be because I was dead.

Pain-free sleep! I can't even remember what that was like. Or sleeping straight through the night without waking up. I think if that happened to me now it would freak me out! "Hey... why is it so bright outside?"

I remember when I could go to bed early and be fine with it. Though I also remember going to bed, spending a hour or so reading, and then falling asleep late. I’ve never been a bed early rise early person I suppose.

Whoa did you just bring up a lot of memories! My mother loved Exposition Park. We spent a lot of time there when I was growing up. I took classes at the natural history museum every summer. My mom could spend hours strolling through the rose garden. We saw some of the 1984 summer Olympics at the Coliseum.

My quarters are saved for Aldi carts and spring water. We have a spring water company about 25 mins away that sells it for 25¢ a gallon. Much better than our crappy tap water, which has been testing high in all sorts of nasty things. The town has given us a notice once a month saying that the levels aren't dangerous in the short term but in the long term, could cause cancers

Mine quarters are for the parking meter. I’ve gotten more than enough parking tickets in the past.

We get bottled water too, but it’s from Walmart and $6.50 per refill.

My town usually flags for arsenic. That's reassuring.

The water here in El Paso is gross. It tastes bad.

Not to mention it's nice having a photo location tagged so I have a idea as the where I took it.

I specifically turn off location on the photos/videos to prevent others from knowing where the photo was taken.
