I remember raising Sea Monkeys to feed to my tropical fish. Sea Monkeys were just plain ordinary Brine Shrimp, but sold to kids for a higher price.

At 12 years old, splitting packs of cigarettes between three of us. One kid always got the short draw, 7, 7, and 6. He'll probably live longer than us.

The Children's Reading Room at our library.

Trying to type a school report on our old Royal Underwood, and having the keys stick together, getting black ink all over my fingers, and a really yucky looking finished paper.

Mimeograph machines, and getting blue ink all over my fingers and really yucky looking papers.
