#ImNotSayingImOldBut #HashTagGames I got caught in the traffic jam going to Woodstock (True story. I was very young. Family was going to see Grandma.)

I can't really play #ImNotSayingImOldBut because, like most kids who lived in 1950s Alaska, I effectively lived in several centuries at once.

I remember cigarette vending machines. They were everywhere. Restaurants. Movie theaters. Gas stations. Some grocery stores.

#ImNotSayingImOldBut we used to make my mom’s computer terminal print out a Snoopy using Xs and Os and it connected to her work by putting the phone receiver into a box with cushioned holes (the modem) #hashtaggames #GenXPlaysToo

#ImNotSayingImOldBut

I remember when "oldies" radio stopped at the 70s.

I remember that radio is a thing. (Big chunk of my day job is related.)

I remember when we made fun of four-color CGA, especially because why *those* four?

I know that Morse Code used by railroads wasn't dits and dahs but spaced clicks because the receiver was a solenoid. Only clicks were possible.



A certain size of model train had a wind-up engine that could blow actual smoke.



I know that Jumping Jack was a toy on strings, not a type of exercise. That kind of exercise is properly called The Freddy.



I know how to patch a tire with a vulcanator. No, Spock isn't helping with that one.



I remember when hydrogen was called "water gas", later called "illumination gas"
