How old am I? I am so old, I remember when:
-Candy bars were 5 cents and bottled Cokes were 10 cents
-Paperback books were 25 cents (and the really thick ones were 50 cents. Hardbacks topped out at $10 for the big ones.
-Gas was 30 cents a gallon
-A brand new Ford Mustang was under $3,000
-Comic books were 10 cents
-Postage stamps were 4 cents
-Pay phones were all over and cost 10 cents
-McDonald's burgers were 15 cents
-Levi's were $5
-TVs were all black and white
-I played outside
-Many people waited until they were married before having kids
-The National Guard really was the National Guard
-I saw Disney's "Song of the South" in a theater
-Doctors made house calls
-The music was great
-I really thought I was cool.
That's it for now. More later?
