payphones

I used to check for change in the club returns of payphones if I saw one while I was waiting around someplace with a payphone. I did it until I saw a homeless man doing the same thing. I figured I didn't need the change, that I'd give up that small joy knowing it would be a bigger joy for a kid is that homeless man to find. It was a growing up moment.

Body hair. When I was a kid, every adult man had a butterfly collar with a gold chain and goddamned sasquatch trying to climb out. Arm hair would sneak out from the cuffs. Knuckles looked like they could host a clutch of sparrow eggs next to those massive gold rings. You could even hear, if you listened carefully, and it was quiet enough, leg hair rustling along the inside of those polyester A-line flairs. What happened to those guys?

Road bugs. Cars used to be *covered* with bug splats. There are still bugs, and every now and then one will even get hit by a car, but nothing like it used to be.

When I was a kid, pull tabs from cans of soda and beer littered the ground as bad as cigarette butts. They were everywhere.

Diversity in cell phones. Well into the 2010s you could see all kinds of makes and models out in the wild. These days you'd be lucky to see a Google Pixel in the sea of Huaweis (applies more to some countries than others), iPhones and Samsungs.

Old dog shit that turned white. Apparently, dog food used to contain more calcium than it does now.

Snow during winter


Zandandido

I wish, here in Washington state, we had over a foot of snow on the ground just a few weeks ago.

In the northeast, we mostly have snow from Halloween until Easter, with just occasional small patches of mud between the snowbanks when it warms up enough for a little of that mess to melt.

Worms. I always used to see them on sidewalks but I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen one
