Remember

remember when people were building bomb shelters
remember when pet rocks were popular with apartment dwellers
remember when the hula hoop was inducted into the national toy hall of fame
remember when you sat cross legged on the floor and rose like the phoenex
remember when you would never use a yo-yo with ball bearings
remember when potbellied pigs outweighed their owners
remember when you bought sneakers without names
remember when you could understand the words in a song
remember when you wanted the unabridged oxford dictionary
remember when your parents bought the encyclopedia britannica
remember when you bought your first computer with a floppy disc
remember when you collected match book covers
remember when you listened to records and 45s
remember when you listed to tapes
remember civil discourse
