I named 2 of our muscovy ducks Heckle and Jeckle.

That metal thing was to hold coins, and of course the others ae bubble pipes. I had one made out of blue plastic that looked like a pipe.
We named 2 lovebirds Heckle and Jeckle

Ah, "The shortest stroke in the low-price field."

The carhops carried those change machines on a belt around their waist. They could get your change fast and they were accurate.
Good memories. Carhops in tight shorts and rollerskates.
The kid next door tried to smoke out of a bubble pipe. Needless to say, that didn't work.

Yes station attendants used them as well.

I believe that is the remote on the left.

My dad would say "change the channel" and one of us boys would get up and change the channel. We only had 3 channels so it didn't take long to see what else was on.

Many around my area in WI

My first car... 65 Impala... small block 400, racing cam, racing heads, headers, 4brl Holly... despite being a heavy car I still couldn't keep the rubber stuck to the pavement. That car would run when it hooked up.

In 65, my best buddy bought a brand new red one , with 396 , 425 hp, 4 spd. First year for 396 I believe. It was very fast. First time I drove it, I got a ticket for negligent driving , burning more than 25 ft of rubber,
That's what the ticket said.
It's in my blood. Hot rodding.

I remember the A&P from going there with Mar and my sister during WW2. No 'self service' back then.

Hah. Never had a shave that resulted in 'good looks'. Seems like Thin Gillettes weren't supposed to last as long as the Gillette Blue Blades.

look at that toxic white man pushing that poor woman. He's probably groping her butt too.
