I would want to come back immediately! Having had a heart bypass. new hip and knee replaced, I’d be dead or a wheel chair bound cripple by now. Seriously the old days are memories but not a way to live when you have what we have today. Spent days researching for my thesis that today would take hours. Had to blow in the gas tank of my 53 ford that vapor locked when the temp. rose above 80 degrees. No thanks. ATMs, cell phones, internet, cars that run forever, plane fare that is cheaper than driving there. Food choices never dreamed of in 1961, in or eating out. I’ll stay here or move me ahead 20 years when they have my bald spot fixable.

Encyclopedias that expired as soon as they delivered instead of Wikipedia.

You have a 14 year old truck today, it runs fine and is even air conditioned.

Much better food choices and obesity is a problem today in the ghettos instead of hunger.

You didn’t get groped by the TSA back then and didn’t have passenger planes blown out of the skies by underwear bombers. You were treated like royalty by the stewardesses and weren’t beaten and dragged off because some airline employee wanted your seat. And you had leg room.
