Looking back, watching those telly tubes warm up had a sense of anticipation to it.

I hardly looked at "Captain Kangaroo". I probably looked more at "Romper Room" than the Captain. We had a B&W, VHF-only Motorola that my folks later gave to my paternal grandparents (my maternal grandparents were both dead by the time I was born), then a B&W GE, then a color Zenith.

Radio? My dad had a beat up, leather bound Channel Master. Later we got a Zenith FM console.

Cars? We parked our one car on the street, lacking as we did a garage in our rowhome neighborhood. We had a white Dodge, traded that in for a Blue Olds F-85.
