Remember When......

Remember when television went off the air at night? They'd play some video with the national anthem or some other patriotic one minute or so clip and then the channel would go off until morning. Some would just go to static, some would have some type of test pattern on the screen with a loud constant beeeeeeep tone (presumably to wake you up if you had fallen asleep so you'd turn the tv off and go to bed, at least that's what I figured it was for).

I remember expressions like, "squeezing the nickel until the indian was riding the bufffalo.""
I remember when there were 2 digit postal zones that went between the city name and the state name.
I remember working as a bag boy in the local grocery store for 65 cents an hour plus tips.
I remember those coolers you hung on the window of your car. The window would be open just a little and the cooler would be filled with ice. Wind would blow into an opening in the front of the cooler and out an opening in the side into the car. Cool! But not too very.

Swamp cooler. 
(it works! After the roof is in the shade it takes the house down from 78 to 72 after an hour.)

So in August you can see low to mid 90's (100 is rare) and that would take the house up into 80's. But by cooling the house down in the morning with the windows open, then closing them before the heat, the house doesn't reach 80. But with the sun on the roof the attic is cookin. Runnin the sprinkler takes the heat out. Beats buying and paying for AC.

I remember these reading machines in elementary school that would only show one line of a story at a time. It would be projected to the front of the classroom on a screen. You would read the entire story that way one line at a time. After the story was over you would be tested! The machine would click away on the lines of the story quicker and quicker. Talk about pressure, frustration and the lack of wanting to read?!? I hated that **** machine and to this day I am not a big reader!
