I suspect that MIKEY is refering to Alan; another of us in the "Light Grey Posse"
When you reach our age, you, uh......
Anyway, bet he can also recall other things: Like paying a realistic "Light Bill" The relative luxury of a "Two Holer"! gettin' milk delivered by a horse drawn wagon(and trash taken away by the same means)
I still call it an "Ice Box" today, but then, it WAS an ice box!(well, WE had a real fridge, but our next door neighbors still recieved ice from the truck, which us kids loved to sneak on when the delivery guy took the ice inside and we could sneak a little shard off the back of the truck on hot days)
Our ring was a simple "three Shorts" but my Aunts was a more involved "Three longs, a Short, and two Longs"(if I remember correctly) And Yes, her phone really did have a crank to alert the operator when she wanted to make a call!!
You could sit, even Stand, anywhere you wanted to in an automobile!
And two or three reelers had artifacts!!
