I remember a White House tour being cancelled midway thru it because of the Cuban Missile Crisis happening that weekend.
I remember playing outside.
I remember everyone being sent home from school when JFK was shot.
I remember putting 50 cents into a cigarette machine and getting 3 pennies in change and a pack of matches with each pack.
I remember 32 cents/gallon gasoline to put in a brand-new $2,500 car.
I remember smoking on airplanes.
I remember when people dressed up and stayed sober and polite when flying.
I remember when retail salespeople knew how to give change back without being told how much by a machine.
I remember having to drive 15 miles and sit in a seedy theater with god-knows-what-coated seats in order to watch a porn video.
I remember how cool it was to get an 8MM projector to avoid said drive.
I remember how even cooler it was to buy my first VCR (BetaMax)
I remember paying $3,200 for our first computer - 286 16MHz; 256K RAM; 40MB HD, B/W monitor, dot-matrix printer.
I remember how cool it was to upgrade to a color monitor and get a whole Meg of RAM - for only an extra $500.
I remember when saying 'cool' was cool.
I remember when a music album had more than two good songs on it.
I remember guitar solos.
