Arrow in the olden days....

long before the invention of the hot dog...

everything was done in a particular way
and it was done with pride...and it was good quality.

you'd go to a service (gas) station and they'd check under the hood
right away to see if you needed oil...
or any other free service because you were a paying customer
buying gasoline and they wanted you to return often

~
MILK was brought up to your front door by the smiling milk man''

your garbage was removed from your garbage pail in the backyard

the postal carrier would sometimes knock at your door and
warmly tell you...with a smile ..here's that letter you've been waiting for.

your neighbor would cut your grass because it was getting long and he knew
you had been so busy that you just hadn't any time, without asking

then.....we entered into an "age of convience"

drive up mail boxes
garbage disposals
riding lawnmowers that cost 2 grand
gigantic super stores ....calculators
vacumes that roam around the house cleaning when your not even home
automatic pool cleaners cleaning 24/7
answering machines for telephones
smart cars....
and the list goes on and on

all in the name of convience
and also the "disposable age" was born...
easy to throw it away items
single serving sizes...
bio degradible packaging
recycled everything
even people are now recycled
