I am so old I remember when the Naugahydes went extinct. How old are you?

[HeiressofBickworth]

47. I remember the shame of having

a JC Higgins rather than a Schwinn. Oh, I also remember having huge scabs on my knees from falling off the bike when I was learning to ride. No sooner than one would heal, I'd fall again and get another one. That was way back in the 50's!

I also remember moving from Indiana to Seattle (Father was a Boeing engineer) and thinking that we were going to be living outside of civilization -- such was the geography education at the time.

I once told my granddaughter that her ancestors came west in a 1952 Chevrolet. Not as interesting as covered wagons but without interstate freeways, it was quite a trip.

But I also remember when political campaigns were exchanges of opposing ideas and policies. Not the hate-fest and divisiveness that exists in today's political world. Man, that makes me really old!!
