No electricity, no indoor plumbing, the radio had tubes and ran off a car battery, and we kept a map of Europe above it to keep track of the post-D-Day offensive drive against the Nazis.

@LunarOrbit Well at least we had a village street and a post office. Maybe dancingtongue didn't even have those.

@dancingtongue I cannot even imagine the changes you have seen in the world during your time.

@Really We had a cowtown with postoffice, general store, saloon, and a one-room schoolhouse. But it was 9 miles away, and the first two were unpaved to the highway, which served as the main street for the cowtown.
