    My dad caught a 8lb 14oz bass in '74 and had it mounted. It cost $32. He bitched about that price for years. I still have the mount, 44 years later.

    Growing up our TV had a mechanical rotary dial channel selection knob. We would have to walk over to change the channel/volume.

    I remember my wife telling me her father would leave the door unlocked.
    During a blizzard the city workers would be plowing and see the porch light on. They would stop and let themselves in and make coffee, wash the cups, and write a thank you note.

    We did. One of us stood 'lookout' at a local motel that had one, while we fashioned a couple straws together and drank the product.
