Radio Shack - You've got questions? We've got blank stares. Wanna buy a cell phone?

I miss Radio Shack, Lafayette Electronics, and Heathkit.....

There are still Radio Shack stores around here, but they don't have walls filled with resistors and capacitors anymore.

My first ride on a Greyhound was to visit my aunt when I was 10 years old. My second ride on a Greyhound was to the induction center, somewhere in central Los Angeles, 1967. Both were single-deckers.

I still don't know how a Twitter works.
My 30 year old daughter has to explain everything to me
Just found out about Omeagle. It is soooo is scary because kids can just log on and see people around the world.

I am sooooo happy it wasn't around when she was a teen.

Getting old seeing the world zoom by is crazy!

My high school class of '65 lost four fine young men within 3 years of graduation. All 4 were KIA in Vietnam.
