I hadn’t bagged my deer for the season, sophomore in high school. Saw a nice buck on the way to school, shoot it with my lever action Winchester 30-30, gutted it and got to school late and messy. The Principal, being a a$$ called my pop, needless to say good old Dad got him straightened out!

Now this is way before a lot of your time, but how many of you remember taking your shoes to the shoe shop and have taps put on them? they were a steel plate in the shape of a horse shoe for the heels and one one the side and tip of the shoe. you had to be careful when you walked on smooth floors, really slippery and noisy. ...
do you remember putting on your new shoes and then standing with your feet in a machine and it would xray your feet and you could see your toe bones inside the shoes to see how they fit?

Taps, bell bottoms, etc. and give away my age? Why does this picture I have of my wife and I look like Sonny and Cher?

1963 i recall the taps. As for the shot gun not so much at school the nuns were packing already under those black sheets they wore.
Nuns--I got rapped on the knuckles with a ruler by them. They were packing rulers and yardsticks!

We used to go the the old supermarket called the Red and White Store in Clearlake Oaks with a few nickels and got those Mexican hat candies 2 for a penny. They were chewy - kind of like the gummy worms my grandkids like these days. Red whips and licorice were a penny a piece. Big hunk candy bars were a nickel - but big!
We got those steel taps put on both the toes and the heels of our shoes so the shoes lasted longer. They made some noise for sure walking around on hard surfaces. Milk man delivering milk three days each week in glass bottles that we left out for him to pick up when they were empty.
