Locusts singing, the smell of fresh mowed lawn and a ice cold jug of whole milk in the avocado green fridge.. basketball, baseball and football camps. Little league baseball.. born in ‘69 so attended a lot of my now brother in laws ballgames and the smell of second hand smoke floating from the men lined up along the fence , still love that smell.
Late 70’s going out to aunt uncles farm during harvest and hanging out, feeding calves and climbing on tractors , listening to the locusts sing in the evening .. |

I never saw one of those. You must have grown up in Hollywood with rich parents. We just smashed the rolls with rocks.

Christmas when my late uncle stopped by and stayed over night and playing a game of trying to guess what present he got for each of us.
Watching TV game shows with my grandmother and drinking coffee and building model cars Going for a ride to the corner bar with my Grandpa and having a pop and heated cashews Staying outside until dark playing with all my neighborhood friends |

My uncle taking me around with him to pick up women. I guess men now use dogs. Never thought about it before my aunt told me one day how she met my uncle.

Second best memory was discovering a sturdy oak tree that my 13 year old pal and I could climb at night to watch our 19 year old neighbor change into her pajamas some nights though a window. File it under "extracurricular educational activities"..

Another fun thing in the spring: I grew up next to a creek that emptied into Irondequoit Bay maybe 2 miles downstream. It was all woods between my house and close to the bay. In the spring, suckers would swim from the bay upstream to spawn. We'd walk maybe a mile downstream from my house and spear the crap out of them and throw them on the banks. It was just a bloodlust rampage for us. My dad got wind of it and told me to bring some back, so we did. Having been a young man during the Depression, he had a good sense of what it was like to not have enough food. He would clean a bunch of them up every year and put them in the freezer. They were bony but okay to eat in the spring before they sat around in the mud during the summer. |

Stopping for an ice cold flavored pop, in a glass bottle, either grape, strawberry, or orange, out of a vending machine at a gas station on my paper route. I enjoyed it with a package of peanuts.....can remember it like it was yesterday......

I was asking GTO because he's on the Left Coast and they usually have a different perspective on things regarding nomenclature. |
