Pay phone? You do realize don't you that probably 1/2 the people on this Forum don't know what a pay phone is? And none of them is welcome on my lawn!

The soda machine filled with water, with the soda bottles in slots held up by their tops. Put in a dime, slide out the soda, drink, take bottle to local store, get 2 cents back.

Remember when you used to be able to pull up to a gas station and get air and water for free?

Went to get gas tonight and decided to grab a car wash. As the sprayer was rotating around my car, I suddenly remembered I had my bike rack attached to the tow mount. I was waiting for the sprayer arm to get tangled up with the bike rack, but it luckily left enough of a distance to miss the rack. Whew! Normally I remove the bike rack before hitting the car wash. Old age makes me forget such things.

Your cooler didn't have the opener built in to the side of it with the box to catch the cap? Maybe my store opted for the upgraded cooler.
