I didn't even know how deprived (and blessed) I was back then.

Milk delivery at your doorstep? That was for rich folks. There was powdered milk in a box in the cupboard, if you wanted to mix it up.

My bike had 3 speeds, although I abused it so bad only one worked.

Fasy food? Only rarely but I remember riding that (formerly) three-speed bike to Griff's, the last place in town that still sold 15 cent hamburgers. What a treat!

My first car had only an AM radio, but I saved up and upgraded it to an AM-FM 8-track player. My dad helped me put it in.

Pulling in to a gas station and asking an actual attendant for $2 worth and getting my tank filled half full for that $2

The day the local market got automatic doors — high tech, talk of the town

This reminds me of the stupid security questions the credit card companies come up with when they want you to validate your password.

Like, “what was the name of your 4th grade English teacher?”

Heck, I can barely remember even going to school, much less remember the teacher’s names.

Our black and white TV in northern Michigan only received two channels, one from Petoskey and the other from Traverse City..........Two local programs I remember, the Deputy Don Show and Johnny On The Spot.....

Mom took me and my friends to see Deputy Don in Traverse City on my birthday one year.....We were all dressed up as cowboys and indigenous peoples....

All 14. And starter button on the floorboard.

I remember a crank in the front of the car hood to start mom’s car.

Can openers for coke cans. I remember selling a can opener to some beer-deprived sailors for $20.

Dad popping popcorn in a metal pan on the stove.

Metal ice trays with levers! Forgot all about those!!
