Amen on progress, Ralph! Sometimes I wonder if it really is progress or
if it's rergression.

I missed the 1940s and have only dim memories of the late fifties. But 
the sixties are clear and just as some of you have said.

I was thinking also today how the small towns have changed. Looking down 
main street at the scant few vehicles parked. The one cafe/coffee shop 
what normally would have a line of vehicles parked outside at 3:00 had 
only one car today and I never saw another person on the street. Used to 
be you would always meet someone at the post office to talk to but not 
today.
No bank anymore so everybody either goes ten miles south to the next 
town or does online banking. No rail line so no grain elevators with 
their steady procession of single axle trucks coming in to unload grain.
Its good to remember those times and I wouldn't have missed them for 
anything. Progress moves on and we can't stop it. We don't have to like 
it though.
