I didn’t fit into that crowd. I was on the other side of the spectrum. I drove a modified Sunbeam Tiger until I enlisted in the service in ‘69. Bought my first 35mm overseas, an Olympus OM-1 that I put a lot of miles on. Still have it.

Some of my memories tend to fade. Some are indelibly there.

I'd like to have that Sunbeam Tiger now. Classic little car.

And, if you can remember the '60s you weren't really there. Best decade in history!

In the 70s I was the cop that tried to keep all of you pot heads in line but failed miserably. I remember it and the horrible noise that passed as music
Horrible noise? I'm 77 but based on your comment you must be a heck of a lot older...100???

There is only one reason I've made it around that glowing orb in the sky is luck. I'm 64 and my only regret is I didn't get into more trouble.

I think you would like it. I would loan you mine but don't let it out of my sight. When my eyes are feeling dirty I use it to wash them out.

From 1966 to 1970 I was assigned to U.S. Coast Guard Ocean Station Cutters which manned Ocean Stations in the North Atlantic. The "Stations" were a 10 square mile area in the middle of the ocean in which we stayed for 30-40 days until relieved by another Cutter. On several occasions we rode out 30-50 ft seas! Believe me, I remember those days well!

That's certainly one way to assess the state of things.
