[QUOTE="Jeremiad, post: 164157, member: 3108"] Thank you Paul. This reminds me of so many things. Thanks for making me feel old. I'm not that old, but so many things are so very different now. Sure, I remember highbeams on the floor, and I think I was four when I sat on the inner wheel well of Jim's 52 GMC to hold the butterfly open with my feet on the valve cover. I marveled at the flames that came out of the carburetor, and I still blame that incident for my current hairline. Thank you also to Murray. Your post also reminds me of the old-city way of things. I do really enjoy exploring the old areas of Toronto though, they are fascinating to me. My father-in-law has told me many stories of traveling from downtown to Scarborough in his youth to meet up with his wife via bus or later a motorcycle. Kids these days have no idea how long that took, or how open that area was. They were two totally different places! Haha, I can still remember leaving the city on the 400 and having darkness and fields and a sign to turn off for Vaughn, and then another break of darkness before seeing the lights of Canada's Wonderland. Curfew was when it got dark. In the country, I could go anywhere and could be miles away and being followed by wolves or bears, but in the city someone needed to know where I was. I am even worse with my own child. I have a tracking device on him, because I can't trust what can happen these days. Television was not something that I ever really did, even though I am young enough that the first TV I remember was a color RCA console. We rarely ever got more than one channel on UHF, but VHF might work for one or two channels on some nights if the weather conditions were right. Yes, I know rabbit ears and cones, towers and rotators. I damn near killed myself climbing up our 50ft tower to reattach the rotator motor without turning the power off first and using my teeth to straighten the copper core of the coaxial cable. The silly ways that we lived and learned. Sunday family dinner is important to me, and I will host it anytime I am asked or told by my wife. I have learned to cook (yes, it has taken many years), and think people actually might even enjoy getting together, as long as someone else brings dessert. [/QUOTE]
