How some things used to be
Just now I was goign to get a Coke from the vending machine and it didn’t take my dollar. I automatically went about smoothing it out with techniques developed and perfected in my wee-person years in the arcades and got it to accept my bill. Then I started thinking that this is the first time in years that I haven’t had a bill accepted despite using them more often and I realized how much better those things have become. Yay!
And while I’m writing about better I’ll also mention how when I was a kid there was always glass broken all around. All the beverages came in glass bottles and even if you weren’t the bottle smashing type enough still fell to make gladd on the sidewalk or road a comming and annoying thing. Now that plastic bottles are the norm I rarely see the glass. Yay!
