Whenever I drift into the warm current of memory, I grab this Mark Morford quote ...
"In 1942 you couldn't buy a vibrator to save your life, much less your marriage. People were playing scratchy 78s on their steam-powered turntables and danced in heavy girdles made of bailing wire and lost hopes. Merely uttering the words "double soy mocha latte" in some states would get you shot for being some sort of Communist. Life was brutal. Thongs had yet to be invented. Radiohead didn't exist. Telephones were made of wood and string and lots of yelling. People ate meat from a can. Power steering was science fiction."
Exactly.
Morford was a popular columnist in San Francisco, but has morphed into an on-line yoga guru who now seems a most serious soul.
(Yes, I seed nightmares of what-happens-to-old-typists just before sleep. Yoga. Yikes.)
