I can still taste those little wax coke bottles and the tiny bit of liquid that was in them. I would chew on the wax till it was dried out and then spit out the small crumbled pieces.

More “Just Wow!” I just found an old Roswell Daily Record (New Mexico) May 7, 1945.
Headline...
GERMANY QUITS WAR
Surrenders to Western Allies

Anyone notice that those old newspapers were 17 inches wide?
By 1964 they were 15 inches wide.

Now they are 11 inches wide.

Whoa, great minds think alike!

This morning I'd been thinking about how so many pop songs in the '50's were all about falling in love and getting married --and how somewhere that theme got set aside, then ridiculed as 'old-fashioned', and somehow now we've gotten to the point where celebrating marriage and raising a family is a crime against minority "lifestyles".

Maybe the '50's didn't "go" anywhere because they embraced reality and it's the pop fads that will be doing the coming and going...

Thanks. That brought back a lot of memories, all of them good. Yeah, where did the years go? It seems that now they're going by like the pickets in a fence.
