Being a Baby Boomer comes with a lot of responsibility. We are the keepers of a tremendous amount of knowledge and experiences that are our duty to pass down to those that come after us.  That said, are new products and experiences, always better?  I’ve been harkening back to things that we had growing up, that for some reason, are no longer available.  Now, when I say, no longer available, I mean, many items have been exorcised from our universe for either economic reasons, or “improvements” that some genius somewhere, deemed necessary. Maybe, we’re partly to blame for the disappearance of some of these things.  We’ve become such fat, lazy bastards that we practically expect to blink and our problems are solved.  Microwave ovens for instance.  Turning on the regular kitchen oven and waiting for pizza to reheat?  Not on your life!  Standing at the stove and actually stirring a bowl of soup?  Un-huh!  Shaking the aluminum pan that Jiffy Pop popcorn comes in?  Too much work!  We’ve practically demanded that innovation kill many of the things that we had growing up, and I for one, feel a little guilty about some of the “improvements” in our lives. Take for example, the car side vent window.  For you younger readers, cars used to have a window that sat forward of your drivers or passenger side window.  This window provided just a bit of circulation of air, if you didn’t want to roll the window down, yes, I said “roll” the window down.  Read the full article
