A New Game For A New Year, Everyone Can Play
I Am So Old...
(this is the theme)
I remember during ballads at concerts people held up Bic lighters instead of smartphones.
(No politics!)

I am so old I remember when cars only had:
am radios
one side mirror on the driver's side
the original push button starts for cars -- that little primer button that put some gas in the carburetor.
lock-free gas caps, before the gas crisis and locking gas caps became a thing.
two keys -- one ignition and one door.

...Gotta add...this topic could be really good for Politics and Society...It would be a record of social changes and If it catches on as a long running topic it could serve to build a sense of community.

Right! That was the plan. That's why I wrote (No Politics!). But they moved it because they missed the point.
I even removed my political sig line before posting just to play nice. There was a chance to get everyone in that category on the same page. But they blew.

I remember when the city used to put public-use barrels of rock salt on neighborhood street corners in the winter.
...Gotta add...this topic could be really good for Politics and Current Events...It would be a record of social changes and If it catches on as a long running topic it could serve to build a sense of community. Why not give it a try and if trolls run amuck then, maybe, consider moving it....but at least give it a chance.

If I wanted this under our front porch I would have put it under our front porch. Please put it back where I know people and they know me.
The topic is politics and current events. The new year is a current event.
People there don't always get along well so I thought this might lighten the mood. Geez.

The cheapest I ever saw was 54 cents around 1980.

My father owned a gas station and gas in NC did reach 10 cents a gallon during one gas war. Tax was 12 cents a gallon. He lost 2 cents for every gallon sold.

Cheapest I remember (but too young to take advantage of) was in South Carolina in 1969 - 3 stations on corners of a 4 way stop - $0.19 a gallon.

This was in the late 1950's. One station was always in gas wars....and they gave trading stamps, with double for fill-ups... Remember trading stamps (S&H stamps and Top Value stamps. When stationed in the DC area I worked part-time when off-duty in one of the Top Value redemption centers.

A friend and I used to hang out at the local grocery store and collect Bascarts that were left in the parking lot. We returned them and pushed them through a machine that gave us Top Value trading stamps. When we had collected enough we would trade them in for tickets to the local amusement park.
