Default I don't remember horse and buggy, outhouses, or churning butter

It wasn't just the Model-T. I learned to drive
on a 37 Chevrolet. It had a crank hole just under
the grill.

I not only learned to drive on a 1924 Model T, I also cranked it, because that
model didn't have an electric starter. The first car I owned was a 1927 Chev.

I grew up with indoor plumbing, but both my maternal and fraternal grandparents
lived nearby, maternal 1 mile and fraternal 3 miles. Whenever visiting them,
which was often, I had to use the three-holer with paper from the Sears Roebuck
catalog.
