Ha! I remember the version with William Conrad and an F-15. Even as a young child, I was a night owl, and I would watch TV into the wee hours when I could. I felt a sense of victory when I could stay awake to the sign-off, especially KCRA Sacramento's "High Flight" followed by the annoying "Bluebird of Happiness" song in the 1980s. I also felt a sense of pride when I was young and I could outlast HBO programming to its sign off when HBO wasn't 24 hours yet. | |||

I still have several of the Snap-On cheesecake calendars stacked up on a nail in my garage. The oldest one dates back to 1986. | |||

Lots of good ones mentioned. Just a couple others I remember are: Blackjack gum Wooden phone booths Bakery trucks selling pastries, like ice cream trucks, on the street Gas Wars - saw gas as low as 10¢ a gallon 15¢ hamburgers Paying $125 for a used ‘56 Chevy ____________________________________________________________ Money may not buy happiness...but it will certainly buy a better brand of misery A man should acknowledge his losses just as gracefully as he celebrates his victories Remember, in politics it's not who you know...it's what you know about who you know | |||

The corner store bakery, the quad cities had at least a dozen of them at one time, long ago. Now only four left. And! Not one of them makes pecan sticky bun rolls. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||
