Piling into the back of my parents' 68 Olds Vista Cruiser wagon and going to the drive-in on a Saturday night. Seat belts? Pshaw! Those were for sisssies. We just bounced around in the back like so many bags of groceries. First plane trip I ever took with my folks was to Hawaii in 79. We were in non-smoking (the front half of the plane). I had to walk back to smoking for a cig, and there was no discernable difference in air quality between the 2 sections. It was ALL a smoky haze. The 2 rules? Be home for dinner and before it gets dark. You never worried about if you were going to get kidnapped, but the neighbors up the street had a mean dog that you always crossed the street to avoid. And yeah, the Saturday morning cartoons. (And I always take the poll...Wendy, Marvin and WonderDog ? or Zan, Jayna and Gleek?) Having to adjust the rabbit ears just right, depending on what station you were watching. Doing the "Fine-tune" adjustment with that little dial that nobody knew EXACTLY what it did. Regularly checking the UHF stations, but never finding anything (at least in my rural area) The "remote control" was the couch pillow I chucked at my little brothers head while I told him what channel we were watching next. All loaded up a on a huge bowl of sugar, somewhat generously known as "cereal" (Quisp was the best. Frosted Flakes and Honey Comb ranked right up there, too.). And the best part..polishing off the now room-temperature sucrose at the bottom of the bowl. Dee-lish! And of course, the Friday night before you got to stay up late to watch "Creature Features" (Known in my neck of the woods as "Nightmare Theater", hosted by "The Count"). Ours was a double feature that started at 11:30 pm...Don't think I ever once made it to the second picture.. Trying to make it all the way through the Jerry Lewis Tele-thon. Rotary phones (we had a party line). Pay phones. Life "Before" and "After" the Mall was built. Arcades. Man, that was a GREAT time to grow up..

In America there were both Ditto machines and mimeograph machines. In grade school in the 1960's I remember the Ditto print was purple. In high school in the 1970's the mimeograph print was much darker, almost black. The mimeograph pre-dates the Ditto machine, but the mimeograph lasted later and is still has more modern versions today.

[@catreader9733]

Although spirit duplication was referred to as mimeograph, it is incorrect. Ditto was a brand of spirit duplication, and "ditto" was frequently used to refer to all spirit duplication. Mimeograph (probably also actually a brand) is a different process entirely, even though the result was similar. I used both. Spirit duplication was easier to use, but the number of possible copies was much less than with mimeography.

1:50 not "run-of" but "run-off". The sentence actually reads "a freshly run-off mimeograph worksheet". Mimeograph is a quite different process, and required somewhat more specialized typewriter equipment to produce the master, compared to the Ditto master that pretty much any typewriter could work with. For that reason, Ditto copies were far more common in schools, at least in my memory. That said, the two terms were often confused, so Bryson might actually have meant Ditto, with its characteristic purple print and volatile "spirit" printing tech with characteristic smell.

My twin brother and I had gotten to the Merry go round FIRST and bigger brother had started running and pushing off, he jumped on without a problem. We teased my youngest brother who was maybe 5 at the time. We would act like we wouldn't let him on but then would stop and let him on before he would start crying. The day of the scare it was my twin brother his best friend me and my best friend and baby brother. My brothers friend was the push off guy. And we were hanging on having fun. We saw my baby brother getting worked up so my twin tried jumping down to slow it for the baby brother. And as he did that his friend jumped off and pushed even harder saying no baby's allowed. My twin slipped off and whacked his head on the edge of merry go round. His friend saw blood running down my brothers face and jumped off and ran away not wanting to get in trouble. So my friend and I helped my twin and baby brother get us and our bikes home. My twin got 18 stitches on his forehead. None of us ratted him out. But the fact he didn't help us walk the 2 blocks home told our Mom he was the asshole who caused my twins injury. After all that Mom knew saying he couldn't come back to our house probably would back fire and make my twin go behind her back. But a couple days later his friend came knocking on our door looking for us to see if we wanted to head to the park. My brother told him no we didn't want to go to the park and slammed the door in his face. It took about 5 years for my twin to be friends with him again.

I came up in the 60s. Born in '55. Slides were hotter, monkey bars and swings were taller and we played with lawn darts. By my 13th birthday, I broke a rib, my nose, 3 fingers and both arms. All healed perfectly. Being a kid was fun........but sometimes a bit painful!! Rode our bikes with ZERO helmets, elbow pads or knee pads. Skateboards in the 60s were deathtraps with the old clay wheels. When we got older, we smoked unfiltered cigarettes, not "low tar" filtered ones. WE drank whole or extra rich milk. None of that nonfat crap. After that, we drank real beer. None of this pansy-ass "lite beer" they got now. Even the girls back then were tougher than the next generation of boys.

Also, my dad would sometimes add aluminum foil to the rabbit ear TV antennae to (sometimes) get kinda better reception. Ahhh... the 70's! What a time! No cell phones. No internet.

"These machines work by forcing a special ink through a stencil." PERFECT definition of a mimeograph machine. Ditto machines, "spirit duplicators," use a special paper, that has a carbon paper under it. When you type on it, the carbon is printed backwards on the back side. To make a copy, the machine takes a sheet of paper, runs it across a felt pad, coated with a "spirit." then the paper is pressed on that carbon on the backside of the master. Spirit dissolves some of the carbon ink, and you have a Ditto. (I repaired Ditto mimeo and photocopiers for A B Dick.) steve

I was going to say that myself, you did a better job, though I'll quibble a bit about "carbon paper". Carbon is not soluble in alcohol, nor is it blue (I've seen pink ditto masters too). I think it was some random blue ink in an alcohol soluble carrier.
