CAR LIGHTERS

There was one in my Jeep, but of course no ashtray. I have smoked on international flights.

Drive-in Movies are gone, not that I would want one anymore.
I do miss free trips to the salad bar at Bonanza or Shoney's.

I remember much better things. Like:

• Cars without seat belts.
• Being able to take your guns to school.
• Drive Ins.
• Customer service that actually answered the phone when you called, were polite, eager to help you and spoke english.
• Wing (windows) in cars.
• Smoking in buildings.
• An ounce of grass for $15.
• Political parties that differed in priorities (social or business) but were both pro-America, instead of communist vs. nationalist.
• TV programming that was innovative, original and funny.
• Only four commercials per hour and each only 2 minutes long.
• When they had to TELL you that the programming was in color to entice you to but a color TV set.
• TV sets in consoles.
• Stereos in consoles.
• Stores that only sold stereo and hi-fi.
• Being able to get a bus to take you anywhere for 40 cents instead of needing a car to drive you to a parking lot so you could wait to take a crowded subway with standing room only.
• When you could joke about race and weight and many other things on stage or TV and it was funny and no one took it too seriously.
• Going to rock concerts, buying the ticket right there on the spot for $4.50 to see the biggest groups.
• Kids offering to shovel your driveway for $10.00.
• People being given second chances for making a human mistake.
• Running to greet the ice cream man to buy a creamsicle for 25 cents.
• Being able to buy test tubes, flasks, and prepared microscope slides at the drug store.
• The family doctor prescribing an opium tincture as ear drops for a kid's earache.
• Going to Sunday school.
• Going for Sunday drives.
• Stouffer's Restaurants.
