Kids playing outside.

Thankfully it still exists in my small town to an extent, but lots of kids playing "sports" on their phones. And yes they said the same thing about us when people my age were kids with their game boys and video arcades, and to an extent it was true, but once every kid 12 years and older had a smart phone, that was the end.

When I began accepting students to teach martial arts to, one student I accepted simply because I had seen him reading an actual book during his break at work. It told me a LOT about him.

Corned Beef Hash, and that's a damned shame because that's s low cost meal that carried America through the Depression. Although that likely wasn't "Corned Beef".
Spam, by golly I miss my Dads Spam, egg and Velveeta sandwiches on Wonder Bread, extra Mayo please!
Real old school work boots. Tan leather, laces with a white sole. Used to buy them at Sears.
Folk's chewing "Red Man" tobacco. I think my Uncle "Slim" Hunt was the last one. He was a devil let me tell you.

They still make the work boots in the US.

Kids with BB guns walking down the street. When I was a kid we'd go into town and spend time with friends. I must have been around 6 or 7 and I had a Crossman BB/Pellet gun, and we'd meet up with our buddies and walk down to some vacant lot and take shots at coffee cans and glass bottles. Out in this rural area, it's not a problem, but in a big city's suburbs, someone would be calling the cops if they saw a kid with a scary looking rifle ambling down Elm Street.

As a little kid, I also had real metal cap guns. We'd pretend we're shooting feathered bi-pedal prairie savages. Now that's considered no bueno and not politically correct.

Actual wood fireplaces in houses. Most I see these days are NG types.

Manual coffee grinders (most are automatic that I see)

Pay phones
Pagers
Ashtrays in cars, planes and bathroom stalls
Taxi cabs (rarely)

Speaking of coffee..the old percolators with the glass bubble on top.
And, those old, dangerous as hell pressure cookers, that had the little valve on top that rocked back & forth.
About 25 Thanksgivings or so ago, I was in a home when one we had in the kitchen exploded..
Thank God no one was in that kitchen. I could sit here for hours & try to describe to noise, damage & mess it created and yall still wouldnt get an accurate picture.

I use percolator coffee pot in my trailer and in my off road camping gear. It’s gotta be close to 60 years old. My dad gave it to me with his old Colman camp stove and lantern. They work great to this day.

I have a 4 cup Pyrex and an 8 cup Corning.


Look in the camping section. Both the local Academy and Walmart have a blue enameled and stainless steel versions on the shelf.

Think it was the stainless version at Wal-Mart I tried. Based on my experience and what I read online thinking I screwed something up, it is a good idea to hang on to the receipt. Some will work, but apparently China can't reliably copy the 100+ year old technology of the percolator pick up tube.
