The America I described can still be found in nooks and crannies if you get off the interstates and wander the small roads and streets. I see you are on quite an adveenture.jinhuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00068808218810599059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771461306468180189.post-26965705865359779742011-05-20T21:22:24.434-07:002011-05-20T21:22:24.434-07:00This is freakin fantastic!

I was fighting with you for the seat behind MOM..thet was out of the "old man's" reach when he would get frustrated and annoyed with us and swing away. I recall the belching contests in bed in the tourist cabins...swallowing gulps of air so we could belch up long belches and try to say whole sentences. Often the air would not belch up, which occasioned many a fart in the closely packed car the next day. Strange products abounded. In the rural south our nickel soda bottles were seven cents and larger by half. Well I recall the stretched Seven Up and Coke. The old man favored 7 UP.genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11691980290246626190noreply@blogger.com
