Technology vs The Good Ol' Days

Over the holiday season, Shea & I have had our fair share of eating out. It makes it easy to go and grab dinner rather than cooking since it is just the two of us. Don't get me wrong, I love to cook...and not just in the kitchen baby! LOL Truly, I do love to cook and so does Shea. It was cool because we had gone to Pizza Cookery (the best rolls & butter on earth and they should be available 24/7!) and they have the old time vending machines that sold candy & cigarettes. I explained to Shea how you would put your coin in (no dollar bills to spit out) and then pull the little knob and out the item would come on the bottom. It is always fun to tell her about the good ol' days. I also mentioned that when I was younger, we didn't have drive-thru fast food. We actually had to get out of the car and off our butts to go inside and order our McDonald's hamburger, fries, and small coke (no free soda refills- remember?) and give them our $1.00 and still get change back! Just when I think I can feed my kid a bit of culture we go into Mission Burrito in Simi Valley and they have a jukebox! I am so excited and give her money to play some music. I had to laugh outloud!!! They don't even play 45 records anymore! The darn thing plays CD's!!! Too stinkin' funny! I love technology as I type away on my computer but I do long for the good ol' days when you could actually handwrite a letter and the receiver would not think to themselves, "Hmmm...I guess their computer was down!"
