Blue schwinn varsity. At that time, I thought a 10 speed was the cat's meow. Only gear was an Army/Navy surplus poncho for the rain. Bike had a luggage rack, yeh that hasn't changed, and one of those honker 3" diameter mechanical speedometers. Sacramento Bee saddlebags are now called panniers so we can assume the traditional snotty french attitude. Yeap, Sundays were about 120 papers, and took 2 trips. The neighborhood didn't have any big dogs. Couple snappy 15 lb things was the worst. Not like today with the 90 lb monsters you need spray for.

Best time was collecting before Christmas. One lady always had a fresh batch of divinity and fudge walnut ready for me. Forget money, give me the chocolate fix. Actually had to go buy some chocolate fudge because you raised this issue.
