Whole family, loading up in the 57 Chevy for the drive in picture show. Taking our own popcorn from home and ice water in mason jars.

A station wagon with a third seat that faced the rear window. I didn't like sitting there.

Listening to the World Serious on the radio in study hall. Listening on a Rocket radio, crystal set with a wire and an alligator clip to connect to a metal pipe for reception. I definitely remember those. Red if I remember correctly 😊

Anyone else remember straws with a strip inside that, when used to drink milk, would impart either a chocolate or strawberry flavor to the milk? Yep 😊

Grampa buying seven .30-30 shells before deer season started.
Seven shells lasted him 2 seasons! 😳!
Buying 10 shotgun shells at Babcock Bros because I couldn't afford $1.25/bx ammo on my allowance*!
*- allowance my a$$! I worked for that $1!
A red and green box of Remington "Kleen-Bore" .22 LR for 50 cents at Collier's Store over at Swanson Hill. Riding my bike 2.5 miles over to buy it and then 2.5 miles back home!
Watching my grampa roll a PA cigarette.
Pocket watches.
Watching steam locomotives on the MKT railroad in Houston, TX. (1950's) They were bright red with white trim/accent.

A station wagon with a third seat that faced the rear window. I didn't like sitting there. We had one (“58 Chevy and maybe a’59) and we fought to see who got to ride in the back.

THE COLD WAR Atom bomb attack drills at school where you get under your desk or retreat to the designated fallout shelter building. Certain building around school and around town that were designated "Fallout Shelters" ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/25rDpSP2/Fallout-shelter-sign-US.jpg) Don't eat snow or drink rainwater because of radioactive fallout coming from New Mex test sites.

anyone remember the duck and cover drills form school.... Yup. Like it was gonna help😛 We all had little boxes of survival food and stuff like folding checkerboards, to take our minds off dying of radiation poisoning, I suppose. Years later I was poking around in the boiler room where I worked and found a stash of emergency supplies: canned water, feminine hygiene stuff, porta-potty, and a Geiger counter, an odd mix.
What fresh Hell is this?

Dimes, quarters, and half dollars actually made out of silver.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Damn , What a collection of Rapala's! Caught my first bass with a 5’ steel casting rod with a Pfluger level wind reel. 20# black Dacron line. The reel is on a glass rod these days and I still use it. Still catches fish. The lure that day was a Johnson Silver Spoon with a pork rind tail. It’s the big one to the left. Ballpark 1954 on the Kissimmee River.
I am..........disturbed.

5 cent fountain Coke. ![[Linked Image from i.ebayimg.com]](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/i/131561518053-0-1/s-l1000.jpg) Wooden nickel for John Cobb would get you a root beer.

A nickel for a cellophane package of BBs. At the grocery store! 7-11. They had shot shells also along with 22s.
