I’m so old I remember…

[Jodaily]

When gas was under $1.00

Hell, when gas was a quarter a gallon. Always had to mow the lawn so I remember it well.

I remember when $10 was a ridiculously high price for a top tier live concert.

I'm old enough that I remember when we could do just fine without a WiFi/Internet connection.

When I was a really little kid, like three or four, my parents put me in an aircraft all by myself to visit some relatives in Florida.

I remember that the flight attendants made a big fuss over me and we’re super kind and took me up to the cockpit.

I also have a very vivid memory that it was on national Airlines, now defunct.

I got wings once. And a deck of Delta playing cards one time. I'm sorry I didn't realize I was so close to eye level with those mini skirts back then. The other flights I remember when I was young like that. My dad would charter a plane to pick up my grandparents and fly them back to our podunk little town. It would seat 6 so he would let me go with him. Being able to recognize stuff out the window was too cool. As well being out in the airport side of the airport getting to where they were to bring them to the plane too. Those memories fueled my matchbox car play ground fantasy. No idea what I was looking at at the time but lots of activity and noise.
Population so large now those special things then are rare now. Cost of them is exponential too.

Best I’ve done recently was $20 (sham69) but most of them are now in the 40-80 range now.

I remember going to CBGBs in the mid 80s for hardcore matinees. Three bands for five or six bucks.

My oldest and I were talking about that the other day. She was fascinated in how Sears started out.

The old Sears Christmas catalogs was like stepping into an alternate reality for little kids around Christmas time…
