When I was a teen I worked as a milk man's helper for $3. a day. Best of times the 50s EZ LIVIN.

Wow Joe ... hope you were smart enough while making those big bucks, to have saved them!!!! Don't know when that was, but $3 a day was pretty good pay back in the day for me. Thanks for the comment.

Haven't seen one in many years. My husband's uncle was a MM in our county for many years and I believe was still delivering milk in the early 70's.

Wow!!! That's much later than anything I ever saw ... '50's & done in my neck of the woods. I liked the idea of the milk coming with the cream at the top ... & always with a smile & good morning greeting. Hoping there might be more of this however I suspect the margins would be tight. Thanks for the visit & comment. Always appreciated.

An Eclectic Renovation

Darned near ready for move in ... once there is glass in all the windows & water to the watering tub out front. I too noticed the unique cattle guard ... pretty smart actually. Nice job ... as always. I really enjoy your photography. Thanks for sharing.

A Peek At Agathla Peak

It's probably silly of me to try to pick a shot of yours that I like best .. they're amazing ... but that last shot really catches my eye Jim. Amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing.

PS: I'm betting you'll not wait for long for a response from the Chief. I've not noticed he's shy about gettin' it on.

I have never seen this before.

Excellent timing & a very unique shot. Never saw anything like it ... good thing it was a gull, not an Osprey or Eagle ... that would have ended very differently ... & badly for the squirrel. Thanks for sharing.

Very good, Frank, haven't seen any of those home milk delivery trucks since the 50s.

Neither had I Earnest ... as I noted earlier, I was rushing to the shore to try to get some sunrise photos (& running a bit late) ... but when I saw the milk truck, I just had to stop. Unfortunately, at the time, I kept thinking it was getting late, so I rushed the shots in order to get to the beach. When I got home to PP, I was disappointed that I didn't take more time. But it did bring back some good memories.

My father was a milkman for many years. I have great memories of those times as I loved milk from glass bottles. We even had a milk dispenser in our home for a while like those used at the time in malt shops and hamburger joints. This was in the sixties.

Thanks kpmac ... I agree with you about milk from a bottle ... but, sadly the age of the milkman was gone by the 60's around where I lived at the time. I suspect your Dad was a popular guy if he was anything like the milkman we had. Ours was almost a friend to the neighborhood ... everyone loved him. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks!! Yes, my home town of Bradley Beach, NJ, was a fabulous place to grow up. Small town - about 1 square mile bordered by the beach/ocean and two lakes on the north and south borders. I still visit it 1 - 2 times a month. Of course it is financially prohibitive to live there now - way to rich for my blood.

It's funny ... I always thought of NJ as a crowded & tough place to be ... but before I retired, I worked for a company that bought a company down on the Jersey shore ... & I realized while it is more crowded than most places in NH & VT, it was a beautiful place to live. But as you suggest ... quite expensive to live there. I guess all states have some nice places to live.
