I’m so old I remember…

The fall of Berlin wall and break up of Soviet Union
When I went to Basic Training (age 21) the targets we shot had hammer and sickle emblems and our threat and tactics training was about how to fight against Soviet tactics (summary: shoot the guy next to the guy with the antennas or the vehicle with the antennas because that's the only guy/vehicle who knows what the mission is).
 
I still write a check or two a month
Here check books are totally obsolete, they haven't been available even at the risk of and at a cost to the user. Checks written by the bank (used eg in real estate trade, if buyer and seller had different banks) were used longer, but I think even they are obsolete now - at least last year I bought this apartment totally online. Edit. It seems companies still use checks - single ones, written by the bank for the exact occasion, not cheque books.

Saturday morning cartoons was so much fun. School House Rock commercials in between.
 
That show introduced him, Holly Robinson, Dustin Nguyen, Peter DeLuise, Richard Grieco and Steven Williams all of whom went on to long careers.

But like so many shows of that period, the first season was by far the best.
