I'm of the era before Baby Boomers. We may be talking "pre-historic," you know!

When our kids were babies, we didn't wash their diapers, either - we used a service; certainly not eco-friendly, but mighty convenient!

My lawn mower wasn't hard to push, nor was it an ecological "nightmare!" It was electric; I was fortunate to have a yard small enough to allow its 150-foot cord!

When I was a pre-teen, I did take the streetcar to school! It was virtually unheard of for any one to be driven to school - remember, there was gas rationing, way back then!

When my wife and I bought a 60-year-old house in 1962, each room had originally had only one electric outlet, but additional outlets had been added over the years - by making a channel through the original plaster to the new added location.

Memories flood in as I think back to those days!
