I started working in a gas station in N. idaho in 64. Gas was $25.9 during the summer and 21.9 during the winter.
When we got our first TV, no arguing over what to watch, since we only had 1 channel.
My first car was a 46 Ford "fast back" for $40.
Never heard of McDonalds.
Had only been in one other state. Washington, since the border was about 15? miles away.
Most women didn't drive unless they had to. That was a "mans job".
Pack of cigs was $.25 in the machine. Cheaper in the store, but they wouldn't sell to 10 year olds. Just stole them out of my dad's carton before that, since I didn't have any money. Smoked the ones my older brother stole.... before that.
Uncle Frank coming to visit on Sunday afternoon with 3-4 qts. of beer, since Washington was "dry" on that day.
Hydroplane races on the lake. Miss Thriftway, Miss Bardahl, Slo Mo IV & V....and the evil Detroit boats.
Duck tail hair cuts.
Perry Como, Bishop Sheen, Liberace, Alfred Hitchcock, Toast of the Town....
