Joe,
When my widowed mother and I moved to Colorado Springs, CO in August 1964 I got smart and got an afternoon route. And that one was right on
my way home.
That afternoon paper went out of business long ago.
I picked up the paper across the street from the school, walked home tossing them here and there. When I got about a block from home they
were gone.
I got so where I could throw them from the bicycle, and make them go on
the porch of the residence.
It was a warm afternoon and tossing on paper I was off a bit and
instead of landing on the porch it sailed through a open window into
their living room! I could never do that again if I tried.
Somebody's meal just got ruined. :P
One was a Schwinn Suburban. It was a 10 speed on a three spreed
frame, which I referred to as "the station wagon of bicycles". :)
Mine was blue...but I don't remember if it was a Suburban. The one I
had growing up was a Sting Ray with a red "banana seat".
As John Cameron Swayze used to say about them: They take a licking
and keep on ticking.
My current watch is a Timex.
Doesn't say where it was made. Probably China. Everything else is.
But, where does China make their China??
I wear one only when I positively, no excuse have to. But its the
last thing to go on and the first to come off. Thankfully now the only place those are required are buses and medical facilities.
Oh, and in cabs and the like.
I'm the same way...although I saw a COVID-19 meme, where the guy doing
his shopping at Wal-Mart was dressed like he was going into a HazMat Zone.
