As a kid our butter was always the hard stick type so wanted the heals because they were tougher when trying to apply butter.

Serial port connected. No wireless or internet or cloud or live streaming....but generally reliable.
For watching fireworks displays on the 4th, I put an old couch in the back of my pickup.
Or things that are still in my hands
Yep. We had a 3 digit rotary phone on a party line. Every time we'd make a call all the old gossips would pick up and eavesdrop. My girlfriend and I became quite adept at ridiculing them into hanging up and leaving us alone. The good old days when life was simple.North 1067....we had exchanges with operators...there was north..east and west exchanges....so lifted the phone and operator asked for number...eg east 1839 and she connected you....I went to stay with a school friend for the weekend...he lived in South of the island...which area was called central....well I had to ask my mum something so he showed me the phone in the hallway...I picked up the handset and waited...but no operator just a noise...he looked at me and said you have to dial the number....the central numbers where on a fancy automated exchange....but I didn't have a clue what he was talking about....so he had to show me how to use the circular dial....well took me about 4 goes as had to learn that you had to make sure your dialling finger hit the stop....my friend thought it all was very amusing....the boy from out in the country didn't know how to use the phone.....me I thought ours were more advanced as we only had to lift and ask for the number and all was done for you....to me having to dial it yourself seemed very backward...![]()

Above the Mason/Dixon Line: Swamp Yankee is a colloquial term for rural Yankees (northeastern Americans). The term "Yankee" connotes urbane industriousness, whereas the term "Swamp Yankee" suggests a more countrified, stubborn, independent, and less-refined sub-type.For watching fireworks displays on the 4th, I put an old couch in the back of my pickup.
