Clean sweep. Remember them all. How many here remember CARToons? How about Wolfman Jack's Midnight Special?

100% and then some. My mom dusting for bugs in the kitchen with DDT. We lived through it though.

13 for 13 on the OP's list. I remember our first TV was black & white, it was years till we got a colored one. The colored one was a console with better wood than most gunstocks now days. It also had an outside antenna with a flat double lead wire that came in under the bottom of the window. Later on we got uptown and had a rotating element that turned the antenna.
Also home delivered milk with a paper stopper for a lid.

I remember my brother and I were watching Lee Harvey Oswald's transfer live. Both of us saw Jack Ruby appear from nowhere and shoot him. That was a weird feeling. Both of us looked at each other and said holy chit did you see that?

Surprised that jacks in the driveway haven't shown up yet, or playing cards in bicycle tires. I loved bbq days -- my dad would let me have the first sip of every budweiser he opened and then tell my mom she could have the first sip

All of the above plus;

Grandma saying "hold your water or you'll get it again!" (never ever tell grandma you have a stomach ache.......yes, she was twisted)

Fishing for crawdads with bacon on a string.

Having bottle rocket battles and indulging our pyrotechnic fantasies without a care in the world. Or cops showing up.

Watching TV until late night in the summers and seeing the jets flying to the sound of the Star Spangled Banner......followed by "This is the end of todays broadcast", then that tone would play and the psssssssst static would start forcing me to go to bed against my will.

Hanging out all summer long with two gorgeous, fit, big haired older girls bronzed from being in the sun wearing tied dyed t-shirts with no bra, worn out cutoff blue jean shorts so short the bottom edge of their cute butts were peeking out, and listening to the Beatles, Carpenters and KC and the Sunshine Band

Baby sitting the afore mentioned girls when they were tripping on acid. And discovering that it was called the love drug for a reason.

Riding my brothers chopper and wondering how the heck he could steer the damn thing.

Listened to KOMA out of OKC
Quote
Throughout the 60’s and 70’s, KOMA was the favorite of teens all across the western US. With the big 50,000-watt signal and the relatively few rock-n-roll radio stations across the plains, KOMA was the main station for the hits. KOMA (along with handful of other legendary stations including 890 WLS, Chicago; 1090 KAAY, Little Rock; 1060 WNOE, New Orleans; 770 WABC, New York; 800 CKLW, Windsor/Detroit; and 1100 WKYC, Cleveland) could be heard on car radios, in homes, and everywhere a kid could tune in. Often teens in New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, and other western states would eagerly await sunset when the mighty 1520 would come booming through with the newest hits of the day. They would sit in their cars on hilltops, turn it up at parties, or fall asleep with the radio next to their beds as they listened to Chuck Berry, the Supremes, Paul Revere and the Raiders, and the Beatles. Soldiers in Viet Nam even reported tuning in KOMA to give them a little feeling of being back home.

Same here. That was perfect.


I heard that many of the car manufacturers had to briefly go back to the floor-mounted dimmer switch for vehicles sold in College Station. Aggies kept getting their foot stuck in the steering wheel.

I have driven, and I'm sure there's a couple that remember them new, vehicles with the starter on the floorboard.

And setting the timing on the steering column. There’s a lot going on on a cold start up there.
