You're welcome. Didn't take a nanosecond to know which song it was...now if I could only remember what I did ten minutes ago...

I remember my mom teaching me to dial 911 on the rotary and the touch tone phone when I was a kid. Kind of makes me want to go buy a rotary phone just for nostalgia...
'72 Chevelle. 72s were POS. First year for emission control. Hated that glorious chariot of freedom.

When we raised our two girls, my wife and I recalled how we were raised in the 60s and 70s. I have fond memories of wandering around my neighborhood, playing Army with my friends, or inventing modified football or baseball rules. When I raised my girls, we tried to keep some of the same philosophy, and let them wander (responsibly, of course) through the stream beds around our house, and play in the dirt around our house. My daughters were good friends with our neighbors, and we treated those kids like our own. Since their parents weren't around much, they spent a lot of time with us and my daughters.
Earlier this year, the neighbor girl (who is now 34) posted a thank you to me and my wife on our FB page, thanking us for partially raising her along our slightly free-spirited lines. She referenced this article, which I thought was great:

@blues - solid boomer move to share pictures of your kids.
I'm an early model Gen X. I just sit back and watch the world burn.

I don’t think 911 was introduced here until I was in my late teens.I remember my mom teaching me to dial 911 on the rotary and the touch tone phone when I was a kid. Kind of makes me want to go buy a rotary phone just for nostalgia...

Not in this house. Not teaching your kid to shift a manual is akin to not teaching them to shoot.

Can't forget about the everpresent haze of cigarette smoke in most locations.
