Hi Robert,
Would it ultimately change just a few things in our lives to be better or be a total disaster.
The dream of going back to change our lives I think is what makes us better in our present lives.

service stations with mechanics and prizes for filling up. there was no such thing as self service and they checked your oil tire pressure and washed your windows no extra charge.
Remember when pot was something you cooked food in, and being gay meant you were happy and joyous.
Our first TV was a B&W my dad brought back from New York on a bus. The screen was round, if I remember correctly and I think he paid $13 for it. We got 3 channels (sometimes - usually just one), I was allowed 1/2 hour of TV per week and usually chose Andy Griffith.
