I remember much of what you wrote. Where were you and what were you doing on 22 Nov. 63?
Then there were nickel bottles of Coke and 3 cent Klein bars and penny cubes of Klein Grade A chocolate.
I hope we all make it to 100 or more and are still typing.
Service stations had coolers of Cokes, the bottles sitting in ice water, and you slid them thru a maze to a gate that opened when your dime was accepted. At least in Oregon they still pump your gas. Fun post. And I was a college junior walking to the student union sensing something was amiss.

I remember those coolers. For a short period in time my father owned a gas station (the one with the chipmunks) I have no true date for when this was but had to be before 1965 and as early as 1960.
I hope you make it to 100, 100+.

It was a Friday and like every good 6 year old I was in school. And school was let out early.
