When a date went like this:
5 Gallons of gas in Dad's car
Dinner at the diner
Movie theater or drive in for two with snacks
You forgot about the part (or intentionally omitted) where you get slapped and she demands you take her home RIGHT NOW!!!
You could go out and ride your bicycle as long and far from home as you wanted, and you were considered SAFE (at age 8 or 9)
Orange Crush in the dark brown bottle
Cruisin' on Fri and Sat nites, and seeing how long "a wheel" you could get pulling out of the drive-in restaurant
watching the first Moon launch (and landing) on T.V.
Some sad ones, but most memorable:
Kennedy assassination,
Apollo One fire
Challenger
