[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 238045, member: 704"] Phone, who had a phone? First one our number was two longs and a short. Big old red batteries in the radio. Listened to the Lone Ranger on Tuesday night wishing we had one of those new fangled TV like an uncle had. When we did get one you took your Saturday night bath before 9:00pm because that's when Gun Smoke came on. Went to school on a sled behind our old horse. Gas was .13 /gallon. Before we got electricity dad would slide a scoop shovel with burning coal under the car to warm the engine enough to start. Summer Sunday afternoons neighbors all met on a wooded portion of the river to picnic and fish. In the fall on Sunday you always hired five more guys for a ten man threshing crew because only half would show up on Monday morning and the other half were hung over. 22 shells were .49 a box. You could order a 6.5x55 Swede from a catalogue for $9.99 to $29.99 depending on the shape. The $29 were unfired. The sport shops loved the 1968 firearms bill that forced you to buy from them. My dad bought an 8mm Mauser from a catalogue for about $10. [/QUOTE]
