Anybody remember slide rules:

I actually picked this one up at a yard sale. But I did learn how to use one way back in the early 70's.

I had a Bronco Mini Bike and a Lil' Indian Mini Bike like these when I was a kid. Those two companies went out business.

I would have hated you for this as a kid. I drooled over those things and would have done anything in the world to have one.

Got to ride one of the lawnmower minibikes around at an uncles country house one summer. It was one of the greatest experiences in the world. Somthing about being 11 or 12 years old on a gas powered vehicle that nothing much compares to.

Oh wow...a cafe mini-bike.

I had one similar to the blue one on the bucket up there when I was a kid...my family lived in the mountains above Fresno and I had five acres to ride it on.

Jobs and living wages.

Jobs and living wages.

Living wages? LMFAO. The term Living wage is relatively new, and seemingly something for the PC panderers.

When I was developing my work skills in jr High, High School and through my undergraduate years, we called it "Making a living". This is what you did by developing useable skills and working your way up in a job. You didn't just get some "immediate wage level" because this is what people feel they need to live comfortably. You worked and struggled to make ends meet so you could achieve a better wage through merit and hard work.

Things you don't see anymore?

Work ethic and ambition.
