    The Island that was called "No Bikini Atoll". :lol:

    I don't remember that island but Colonel Bleep's island was Zero-Zero Island.

    How about Hans Conried? How many shows/movies can you name that have him or his voice? My favorite is "The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T"

    And aside from television, do you remember the pre-Interstate highways?

    Rickety old barns with "Mail Pouch" tobacco advertisements painted on the side?

    Huge tire dumps all over the place, visible from the road, many burning?

    Huge automobile graveyards, visible from the road, all over the place?

    Smog so thick you couldn't see to the end of your street?

    Garbage and sewage swirling in eddies in most rivers?

    Jet noise so loud that your windows rattled when they flew into the airport?

    Unsupervised open-air dumps in every little town that were just back-woods places where the locals dumped any and all trash, glass, metal, paints and chemicals. And it would usually roll down the valley into the creek and end up in the rivers? And the bears would come and scatter the stuff around?

    Despite our current problems we have made progress in some areas.


    ...we lived north of Milwaukee's airport under the approach for Runway "one niner/zero ten". When planes landed (heading south it wasn't so bad, However, when winds were from the north, the planes would take off right over the house. Back in the piston engine days, when a Connie, DC-6, or 377 Stratocruiser flew over over it caused the television to flicker. for a couple minutes. When the first DC-8s and 720s (with the pure turbojet engines) started serving the city, it was thunderous. Even in the so called "fan jet" era later in the 60s it was still loud (727s in particular, which Eastern airlines called "Whisperjets"). When it got extremely cold (below zero), the planes sounded even louder as if they were only a couple feet above the roof..

    I remember one afternoon seeing a B-36 take off over the house that had visited the local 440th Air Reserve base. The 440th wing at the time was still using the old Fairchild C-119 "flying boxcars" . The refueling wing had a fleet of KC-97 air tankers (basically 377 Statocruisers that also had two jet pods near the tips of the wings).

    To top this off we also had a very busy freight rail line only a block away. The steamers weren't so bad but the diesels were loud and often shook the house. In 1969 there was an earthquake that occurred along the New Madrid Fault which was felt as far north as Chicago and Milwaukee. We all thought it was just another train passing by until a news bulletin came on the radio.

    Before the interstate, the major north south highway through Milwaukee between Green Bay and Chicago was Hwy 41, four lanes but with crossovers. West to Madison you took Hwy 18. Everything else in the state was pretty much two lane. As late as 1968/69, Interstate 90/94 through the heart of Milwaukee was still under construction.

    Wrecking yards (at least around Milwaukee) had high metal fences.surrounding them.

    Smog in the central part of the city was not so much an issue because we usually got a wind off the lake. When winds came out of the south/southeast, we would get smog blowing up from Chicago and Gary/Hammond Indiana (the latter two where a lot of steel mills were located).

    A lot of barn ads in the Wisconsin countryside touted dairy products or nearby tourist attractions.

    My tablet just made the decision to die on me. Fortunately I can replace it for free. Should get it Tuesday. Wednesday I can swap sim cards.

    Good morning! :cheese:

    Been Brycing all weekend.. it's definitely far easier to make album and track art in Bryce than DS, so hopefully I can start producing cooler album covers.

    Warm and overcast here.. headed out for a brew at Noon, then back home to play with Bryce some more.

    I hope everyone has a great day! :coolsmile:

    Is there a way to increase the size of the icons in DS so I can see which item I want for a scene?

    The text and icons are too small for me in DS. Not sure why

    Old age! :kiss:


    i can still remember barney the purple dino

    What do you mean "remember"? He's still on the boob tube. My 3-yr old grandson loves to watch him and even dances with Barney. Oh, yes, I remember Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Greenjeans. The show that preceded it where we were was Ding Dong School with Miss Frances. My little sister and brother thought she was actually hearing them and would enthusiastically shout answers to her questions.

    Got an email from someone who wants to put me and some friends in an historical exhibition, iz depressing :lol:

    Depressing is visiting a museum and having your daughter exclaim: Look, Mom, we have one of those in our kitchen, but we use ours.
