There was one car only, we never did pot or put drugs up our noses. We did the physical labor for our home repairs, upkeep and remodeling. College education was out of reach so we utilized libraries and common sense to teach ourselves. AND we had respect for our bosses, elders without groveling and were a two parent family.
It wasn’t and hasn’t been a cakewalk but totally satisfying knowing we were responsible for our achievements and goals.

Interesting...........solid middle-class, patriotic value system. I am guessing born in the USA..........in the Midwest. Just a guess. I lived in Nebraska for a while, and attended a College in Kansas in the early 60s.......surprisingly good parties there.
