Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

One of the many things that average people are missing now.

Growing up in semi-rural Pennsylvania in the 60s/70s, we had numerous farms in the area. As kids, we'd hang out in some of the abandoned and dilapidated barns and corn cribs, making obstacle courses, which included running the beams and jumping or swinging from point A to point B, wherever each happened to be. And in the winter, we'd make campfires in the barns, despite being full of tinder and other flammable materials. We were careful not to burn anything down, but still, we were kids. At least one of those dilapidated old barns collapsed, lucky we weren't in it at the time. Oh, the memories.

I remember those guys. The third was in the episode, to serve man. - cook book.
The first was a ventriloquist dummy that was alive. And evil.
Middle was a family waiting for the reading of a will. But they had to wear masks overnight to get their inheritance. When they removed the masks their faces had become like the masks.

I'm convinced it signaled the decline of the American civilization when the caboose was retired by the railroads. What kind of world have we wrought ?

Replace this (and the jobs that went with it) with a red light tacked on the last car? What have we become ?
It was really popular here to use cabooses for things like pool cabanas. That is among people that have a lot of money. I wired a few.

I see one in a random back yard now and then. When my boys were small we took a road trip to Strasburg PA, railroad nirvana, and stayed in this place. It was very cool.
