kids have sometimes nice idea, our boy last Sunday attached pickup truck to the train with a wire on the side and simulated the Unstoppable Philadelphia Train rescue action he saw on Youtube .

Just saw something interesting on tv. I was watching one of those nostalgia tv channels and they were showing an episode of CHPs. Guess who's guest starring? A teenage Christopher McKnight (Peter Brady) and a teenage Danny Bonaducci (Danny Partridge). They had just stolen a car.

I had a baseball game that worked the same way. There was a sort of track for the diamond, so the players wouldn't wander off the path into the outfield or whatever. It didn't seem to work that well. Sometimes the runner would just spin in place, sometimes they'd go backwards. It was a disappointing thing, to me. In the closet it went, almost never to come back out. Board games were more fun. And card games.

THAT's it! I knew it was Roger something, but couldn't remember that last name or where I'd seen him.

Getting Away from cartoons for a while... Remember these?
Walkie talkies? My brother and I used to get a set just about every other Christmas.
Never got this game or played it. But I remember it well.
When I was a kid, I had never heard of Lincoln Logs.
These were the toy I knew and my mom bought them for me at the local A&P.

And as long as I brought it up...
I picked this picture for a reason. It reminds me of the store in our neighborhood when I was a kid. The store is gone now, but the building is still there. Housing another store. I curious to know now whether that cupola on top of the roof is still there. I'll have to check in the morning and let you know.

I remember three Piggly Wiggly stores from my childhood. One was up the street from my Great Aunt's house. We used to go there all the time. The other I didn't find until I was in my teens. It was in a kinda racist neighborhood, so I steered clear of it. Well. actually, that's not totally true. The neighborhood wasn't racist as far as I know, but there was a pool near by that wouldn't let you swim there if you were black. I was just in my twenties when I felt comfortable enough to go into the Piggly Wiggly. The third Piggly Wiggle was one my aunt always stopped at when we went to the beach. Think it was in Kinston, NC. As far as I know, that store gone too.

My mother used to collect these! I also seem to remember a Brady Bunch episode about the kids collecting a similar product.

Did you ever have one of these when you were a kid? Kind of makes me wish I had a son.
