I remember the U.S Farm Report broadcast. They used to show it at 5:00am here daily.

Nice!

Jeff Smith open collar classic. Kevin Hamilton with the solid community info. And I wonder if an SMU professor made as much as a football player back then?

I was alive at the time, but I have no clue how people kept track of events and stuff before facebook or smart phones. Like, the guy is like "this is happening her and when" and all the info goes by faster than I think I could ever pull out a pen.

Lately I've been thinking the same thing. I was a kid and teenager of the 70's/80s and as I compare what we have now with what there was back then, I keep thinking how did we navigate things back then? I know I was REALLY good at using the phone book and phone calls to track down stuff, but still it's amazing how quickly we forget how we once lived before smart phones and all this ever-growing technology. And yet, we did, and did it well!

@@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles I used to write phone numbers with pencil on my wall, lol.

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

@@AmericasComic Ha, ha! yeah, I think we've all been guilty of that at some point! I was especially good at writing stuff all over my hands!
