Kids running the neighborhood all day without a way to check in, on demand seems foreign now.

Mom dropping you off at the ballpark for your Little League game with no cell phone, and a couple of bucks, and picking you up later.

No remote control... get up to change the channel.

We had 3 channels...ABC & CBS in Lafayette. We had to turn the antenna to watch NBC in Lake Charles.

Rolling up/down windows manually in the car.

Eight track tapes changing tracks in the middle of a song.

Using a pencil to roll the tape of your cassette tape that messed up.

once rode in the back of a pickup from Dallas to Shreveport


Pulled up to trailer park at 6am, pulled out and rounded up all of Bantam football team who wasn’t up yet or was going to make 7:30am start, 45 min’s away... first good cold front of the year... loaded a Dozen in single cab pickup truck, covered with blankets and cardboard... raining... Champs that year!

There was this one girl in high school who really loved anal. She’d put the strap on & went to work like a pro. I didn’t sheet right for weeks.

Calling the telephone operator for a “break through” because it was an emergency when the number was busy.

The first caller ID boxes you had to hook to your phone.

Using an actual phone book.

Typing papers on a Brother Word Processor

Bag phones for the car

Cars with ashtrays in the doors and the foldable armrest in the backseat to divide you and your siblings and parents fussing if you sat on it because they thought it would smush it down.
