Here’s a blast from the past.  My past, at least. I was looking for a photo to show how times have changed in America and came across this one which illustrated how I have changed. In my 20s I would have focused on the woman on the blanket.  Yes, even then she was old enough to be my mother, but I still would have found this woman seductive. But when I found this photo a few weeks ago, the first thing I saw was the automobile.  Then the other automobile. When I was growing up I could identify every car on the road by its make, model and year. That changed with the proliferation of foreign cars, mostly Japanese.  And “Made in Japan” was a joke in the 1950s; no so today. I could not afford cars like these when I was growing up and now that they are classic, I still can’t afford them now. In a lot of ways, nothing has changed.
