I remember watching the moon landing on TV. I remember riding in my uncle’s truck passing a hippie dude dressed in all buckskin and telling my uncle in shock and disbelief that he has a purse on his shoulder. I have brief snippets in my mind of news coverage of the Vietnam War. Eating at the old Hoppers as a kid and being underwhelmed at the hamburger I ordered. Drive in movie at the Rebel. Can’t tell you what the movie was, but I was bored out of my mind.

Yes we are probably about the same age, I do remember Hoppers, green stamps my mom collected and walter Cronkite on the news and showing the names of those poor young men killed in Vietnam at the end of the news.

I remember getting mad at my dad and jumping out of the truck at a ted light to “walk home myself” and getting my arse whipped.

I remember shooting my sister with a BB gun and getting my arse whipped.

I remember throwing a rock at my grandmas new car and getting my arse whipped.

I remember telling my uncle who had an ear piercing that he must want to be a girl cause only girls wear earrings and getting my arse whipped even though I’m pretty sure my dad thought it was hilarious

For some reason I remember seeing a girl when I was in preschool fall down on the playground in front me and saw up her dress and it made me feel all tingly and it sparked my curiosity.

I remember having 10 dollars and went to buy a toy truck listed at 9.95 and it rang up 10 dollars and some change and I argued that it was wrong with the cashier, then she explained what tax was. I put the toy back after yelling I don’t want to give the Govt any money

Now that I think of it, I really haven’t changed much
