You know you're a geezer when.......................

Okay just as long as the car isn't moving too fast!
I can't count the times my mom propped me up on the front seat which seemed gigantic and she'd slam on the brakes and throw her arm out as though it would stop me from flying through the windshield. I feared that karate chop more then the window!
 
I remember a family reunion trip around 1958 where Mom and Dad took turns driving straight through from near Asheville, NC to Lake Erie. They filled the floor in the rear seat with luggage etc. My brother and I slept on the back seat while our little sister slept on the rear shelf. No standard seat belts before 1963 model year so no one was buckled in.

I'm not even sure that I survived my childhood with so few gov't mandates. :eek:

My mom used to march us back to the car if we were misbehaving, or leave us there to begin with. One time my sister and I were messing around and someone knocked the station wagon out of park and we rolled out of the parking spot into the middle of the drive lane. We sat there and cried with our arms around one another until my mom came back out of the JC Penny's.
 
You know you’re a geezer when you look down on something you just dropped and decide you’ll probably drop something else soon so you’ll wait to pick them both up with one deep knee bend.

Was a go to store for much of my life. They had best price on Levis and "homewares" - bought custom made blinds there too. When they closed the store in Carson City I had to start shopping on line.

It's open again? It has been several years but it was closed the last time I tried - don't remember what time of day. I guess I believed it was permanent.

you betcha - buying pants online can be a six month process and cost nearly twice as much with all the return and reorder due to "vanity" sizing
