Are you old enough to remember.....
 

......in the 50's and 60's having the 65 mph speed limit signs that turned to 55 mph at dark/night.
They used reflective tape and were on two lane highways. I think they quit using them in the early 70's and went to 55 mph limit day and night.



How about the stacks of rolled-up wood snow fences that were posted up on the west side of north/south roads. (snow-belt only)
The County Workers would unroll them and post them up each fall and do the opposite in the spring.
Don't see this done anymore....at least not around here.

I don't remember jack from the fitties ... but yeah ;)

Snow fences .... nope :D

I don't remember diddy from the fitties...:)

I rode my first motorcycle (a Honda 50 step thru) in the 50's.

The wheel was already invented then? :D

In the late 70s I lived someplace with snow, and there was even snow fences, but nothing like you described that I remember. But then things work a bit differently on military bases.

I remember the oil/gas crisis and folks groaning about the 55mph speed limit from the 70s.

No titties in da fitties for me .... born in '60 :)

^^^ The snow fences here, were mostly placed along roads that had wide open fields on the west side to drift the snow up before it was blown to the roads that had plowed snow.

The 55 limit could/should be changed back to 65 during the day. 55 at night is good.

Steve's first computer was an Abacus 1100 :D

My first year of college, I took Computer 101 as an elective.
They had just finished the building that housed the computer.
The computer took up the second floor and when we used it, we had punch-cards and sat in a row of 5 (at the most) to use it for simple math functions on the first floor.

Texas lost.


I remember snow fences and the day/night speed limit signs.

Ah, you mean just recently.

Seriously though. People talk about waaaay back in year 2000. I think of 2000 as recent.

^^^ Jack
We need to keep reminding them of that. :D

Yep...Y2K, the night everybody stayed up till midnight to see what would happen.
Seems like only a few years back.:)

It was.



Wasn't it?:(

Yep...just a quarter of a century back. :)
How fast time flies.

Is that why they say you pick up speed when you're over the hill?

Last time I drove NM highway 64 near Capulin volcano there were snow fences up.

If I had known about this place ... I would have been posting here ;)...

I wuz at work ... total bs ... "all hands on deck" ... me missing a favorite band ...

When the clock struck 12 and the lights shut off .... automatically.....

You could hear a collective gasp outta the conference room nearby....

I just giggled ...

Seems like only 25 years ago tho' .... NO way has it been a quarter of century!

I remember where I was when Lincoln got shot.
