Back in my early career days I sat one row in front of the smoking section in a 747 on a 12 hour flight. It was HORRIBLE!My dad would always try to get my sister and I non-smoking seats when we flew up to see him and often times our seats would be right behind the smoking section.
Sometimes the airline would use a little sign jammed into the top of the seat which states whether the section was non smoking.
My friend had a Cougar and that switch operated the wipers for a single wipe.You activated high beams with your left foot.
I remember learning about the baby boomers in school. Years later, I was grouped in with the baby boomers.I remember when there was no name for my generation.
My Brother was A&P mechanic back then and he told me they could find cracks in the airframe cabin skin from the nicotine stains on the outer paint.My dad would always try to get my sister and I non-smoking seats when we flew up to see him and often times our seats would be right behind the smoking section.

Even the cheapest Plymouth Valiant had all gauges...When cars had an oil pressure and an amp gauge.
One day in science class, the teacher showed us a little vial of Mercury, and she spilled out a few droplets of it and let us take turns breaking it into smaller drops and then putting them back together. Our only precautions were that we all had to wash our hands afterward. Nowadays, if that happened the entire school would be evacuated, and they'd probably have to tear down the school and haul away all the debris and everything else in it to a special hazardous-waste dump.I remember the teachers were manic about us Vancouver kids taking off our rubber boots as soon as we arrived at school because we were insulated until the feets touched the floor. Kids could explode with all that built up energy not getting grounded !!
We ate the white glue from the paste pots, went home to Mom waiting to use the phone because the lady on the party line was hogging the line. I remember when Pepperidge Farms started selling stuff.

Well… my job starting in 1985 they had a drum of benzene on a lay down rack for the production workers and the maintenance guys to wash their hands. It took the stink away better than anything else they tried. The wives insisted they rinse off with the “good stuff” before they brought the stinks home. I worked in a very smelly place. That (the benzene wash station) lasted until about 1989. Saw/smelled it with my own eyes and nose. I never used it and stayed away.Oh, for Heaven's sake....another, "We used to drink VOCs and play with mercury and we liked it", comment.
