A magic time and place

It is really sad that all that seems lost now. Technology, social interaction, and culture has changed so much. Seems noone wants to talk to people anymore unless they are on their phone. Few people stick there hands up to just say hi for fear that it may be taken as a threat or that it would turn into a sexual harassment charge. Noone listens to the older generation and enjoys the simple things that make us who we are. I miss the time spent with my dad, rides to the store to grab a drink and candy while he sat and chatted with some of his CB friends at the local store, sitting out in my dad's camper (AKA in today's terms, man cave) listening to him talk to his friends over the CB. I went outside to play, we visited our family in different states not call or facetime them, we took time for each other. That seems to be lost today. As a teen, I would listen to the CB in the mornings while I waited to catch the bus. Loved hearing the trucks that would broadcast while they were waiting to load or offload nearby. So much of what shaped us has vanished. Just know there are still a few of us out there that will listen and still have a little magic left somewhere.

I remember back stopping in at the Union 76 " TA for you youngsters "and dad trading in the old midland 23 channel for the all new 40 channel cb. It was a Uniden Teddy Roosevelt model,,, the guy told dad they make another one also called the "Nixon" but it quits working after a few months and dad and him had a good laugh. that was in december 1977 cause I remember dad saying it was his christmas early.

....And Greenstamps and "Bingo Cards", a half dozen state plates on the truck, wigwag air warnings, and good coffee for a quater and free with a fuel purchase. Thanks for the memories! Guys and gals have a GREAT week!
