I'm not sure either where it's going.

If I could go back and do it all over again; or if I were forced to go back and do it all over again.

The baby boomers are aged and there are a number of shared experiences.

It was written that when Khrushchev flew over certain parts of America with Nixon he was blown away by the urban sprawl, the creation of suburbia, the massive home construction and the spectacle of the new highway system.

The vast majority of the boomers lived in 'cramped' spaces; 1200 square feet aint much when there are five to seven kids. You shared your bedroom with your siblings and you had one bathroom.

As a matter of fact I found the little red ones for just over a buck the other day--maybe 15 in a 5 lb bag.

PST...you can't get 20 potatoes out of 5 pounds unless they are some little bitty ones that you cook with skins on.
