The Mosquito Plane

 I remember getting up early (or someone getting me up) to watch them spray for mosquitoes.  It was a cool plane that flew really low and they did it very early (likely on a Saturday).

If you were raised on...


This is from a post on Facebook.  I've copied made some edits:

If you
were raised on bologna
drank Pepsi
played in the dirt
got your butt spanked
had 3 TV channels and had an outside antenna
school started with "The Pledge"
had a bedtime
recorded songs from the radio using cassette tapes
drank from a hose
played in the creek
said sir and ma'am
...and you still turned OK, then repost!!

Here are some things I would add:

Went on Sunday drives
Looked out the window when you rode in the car

Not my words but...

Anyone who was born in the 50s, 60s or 70s...we are the last generation who played in the street.  We are the first who played video games and the last to record songs off the radio on to a cassette tape.  We walked over a mile without worries on being taken.  Learned how to program a VCR before anyone else.  We are the generation of Tom and Jerry/ Looney Tunes and Captain Kangaroo.  We traveled in cars without seat belts or air bags and lived without cell phones.  We did not have flat screens, surround sounds, iPods, Facebook, Twitter, computer or the internet.  But nevertheless we had a GREAT time.
