Pyrotex Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 ...Clerks at the store keying in all the prices. They moved product with one hand and bagged all in one motion while constantly keying in prices with the other hand.... I could write this stuff for hours....Yeah, me too! My father owned a small town grocery store. There was just one checkout register--hand cranked! He and our clerk knew the price of every item in the store by heart! There were three aisles, hardwood floors. Remember that pink shredded rubber like stuff that was sprinkled on floors to collect the dust and dirt? Every day, my uncle would sweep it up with a huge floor broom, and sprinkle some more stuff down. All vegetables were sold in bushel baskets out in front of the store, under the shade trees. Dad kept a pile of paper sacks out there, held down by a brick. Remember Garrett Snuff? :shrug: It came in small hand-blown glass jars and was very popular in small country towns until the late 60's. And I remember the night sky, full of stars and the Milky Way. There was only one street light per block, and it got DARK at night. I remember no air conditioning. We had window fans.

Boerseun Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Ridin' billy goats on grandpa's farm! Roughly five/six years of age, you sneak up on them billy goats and jump on! Grab the horns real tight and rodeo the bastard! Hells bells! I think my record was around ten or so seconds. It all came to a sordid end when the goats got wise to a low hanging branch. Once we jumped on, they always went at breakneck speed for the branch. I was the first to find out about their dastardliness. I still have a scar on top of my head from being 'brushed off' a billy goat's back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
