Remember When

They used to sell big open wooden boxes of live "peeps" otherwise known as chicks. All that peeping. They may still do that in smaller country towns during Easter.

A number of stores do. Many local rural feed & seed dealers, Tractor Supply, Rural King... etc. I see the signs out front, "We have chicks".

As far as I know, Easter just often happens to coincide with when the agriculturists find it useful to get young chicks for the upcoming growing season. (The large commercial operations raise new flocks year round, in spite of the seasons.)

I still can't convince Ashly that the grandparents don't actually want pictures of the kids on the bunny's lap. I'm choosing my battles.

You are a wise man. A man is not allowed to imply anything negative about the grandkids.

I was in an antique mall north of Tucson when something in a showcase caught my eye. It was an original 1965 Fireball XL-5 27-inch rocket, in its box with all the accessories. I saw one twenty years ago, and have always kicked myself for not paying the $600 the seller wanted. This seller is asking $20,000, but hinted he'd go for $16,000 for an all-cash deal.
