Kids these days will never know….
Reserving time in the computer lab so you could do your homework on one of these: Spending hours with this as the final result---a program to count to a thousand by even numbers. Or something just as trivial yet took three or four thousand punch cards. One card out of sequence....one hole on...- secgator

Tuesday Favorites….Hamburgers
I haven't eaten a hamburger in probably 6 years I guess so anything I would say would be historical and a trip down memory lane. Gave up burgers, fries, fast food in general, anything deep fried and all sweets other than dark chocolate with 90% cocoa. No regrets at all.- secgator

Rest in Peace Dickey Betts
I'll add to that statement above....and this is only my theory but I honestly feel it has merit....Betts made a huge impact on bringing the Gibson Les Paul guitar to the level of prominence it reached. In the early days of rock music, the two iconic brands which most guitar players were seen...- secgator

Oh I know it's still around and likely not to be going away anytime soon. It's just I remember it much more vividly as a kid since that was one of the most commonly used things....not many other products competed with it. Now, there are tons of things out there and I don't see, smell it much at...- secgator

:rotfl: Boy do I remember those days as a kid when grandparents and every other adult would slab some of this chit on them to help them breathe if they were stopped up. You could get within 10 feet of anyone wearing this stuff, and your own head would open up--even if it wasn't plugged up prior...- secgator

Tuesday Favorites....Let's talk shoes
Really pisses me off they did that since EVERY dealer I know says OC has been the hottest shoe brand in years. Dealers are still trying get opened with them even today, 5-6 years after they took off. Typically when a brand gets hot, the demand to get opened and set up as a dealer starts to fade...- secgator

Disappointing to hear about OC customer service. They've grown so big apparently that CS drops off a little Somewhat common unfortunately. BTW, was that Fleet Feet in Tally you're speaking of? Or The Shoe Box?- secgator

Oh I know there is a legit system in place that adds a method to that madness, but I know also it can be a screwed up headache at times trying to find some off the wall address. Thanks too for reminding me of "terrace"....I omitted that one off my list, yet it is super common in Gainesville...- secgator

Yet no one can explain precisely how the address system works in Gainesville itself. Most roads/addresses being a number--16th for example---then designating a street, court, avenue, road, way, place, etc....THEN a compass heading--NE, NW, SE, etc. 1459 14th St NW or is it 1459 14th Court SE...- secgator
