What a great time period to have grown up.
A handshake would have concluded a deal. Motorcars would have been so simple you could have made your own repairs. Pilots would have had proper flying skills not electronic knowledge skills. Kids would make their own fun and entertainment would have been around a piano.
I looked up Put In Bay on Google and I figure winters would be very cold.
