shootoften,

More years will give you perspective. Things I don't miss, way more than film cameras:

- Outhouses (especially traumatic in Winter, and Spring when they were pumped out)
- Hand pumps indoors for entire water usage (no city service, well only)
- Three TV channels, total
- Polio
- "Spare the rod, spoil the child" mentality
- Brick roads (better than gravel)
- Weekly allowance of 50 cents US
- No seatbelts, airbags, street lighting
- No computer, no FM radio, no cassette tape player/recorder (or video, or CD's, MP3's, DVD's, etc)
- Crank telephones, on a party line (several people shared a line, each with a code number of rings)
- "Duck and Cover" drills in grade school (in case of atomic bomb blast in the vicinity)
