Beemon Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 It must have been fun to be a part of that generation. The engineering golden age, time without immediate communication, you could disappear for a bit and not be bothered constantly... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Ever walk along with your wife and pass an old couple coming from the other direction, then, after they pass, ask your wife if she thinks they are older than us? Yep, do it often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
