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.

Dang Walt, you guys were really high class.
We used shucked corn cobs down here.

That's right, Cecil, the Sears Roebuck catalog came later. We first had brown
cobs and then a white cob to see if we needed another brown cob.
