"Seasoned" and Experienced does fit me much better too, and since that would mean being weathered , worn, tattered and torn,not to mention nearbout wore out, being "old' need not even be mentioned.Us having a lot of "Been there and dunits" behind us and can many times count bigtime in the scheme of things for us..We still enjoying the dirt and that is what Scratching is all about for us "S & E" Diggers.

A nickel bought a lot in those days because our money was worth something back then. I remember the smell of the store and the bulk candy. 5 silver bells for a penny, a coca-cola or pepsi for a nickel. Nickels and pennies were hard to come by back then, but if you earned one or found one, it was worth something. Washington has printed so many worthless dollar bills that they are only worth 3-4 cents each.
Every Monday back in the early 1950's, I would take my brother's paper bag he carried his newspapers in and go out and pick up drink bottles and get the deposit on them and of course put it back into the local economy by buying a cold drink and some candy. What a great country this used to be?

Same here. Although I did save some of the coins found under the baseball stands. Empty bottles went straight to the store for full ones and/or candy. My favorite pop drink was bottled red cream soda. Today's A&W cream soda doesn't even come close to how good cream soda once used to taste like. Besides, cream soda is only good from a glass bottle, and not a can or plastic bottle.

Did anyone ever pry out the cork and put it inside your shirt then press the bottle cap on from the outside???
I used to drive my mom nuts because she would find the metal cap in the wash, or I would tear my shirt, but boy was I cool.
