We were the wild bunch, and one at a time each boy skidded to a stop in front of the machine, pumped in a quarter and got a pack. We we all about 10 or 11.
We then pedaled down to the river and started puffing on our new found fun. I smoked two, hated every puff, and as a wild and crazy guy, I threw mine in the river. Never smoked another one. And I don't litter anymore either.
I did often pedal to the store to get a pack for my dad. He would give me 50 cents, and I bought his cigarettes at the counter, and some candy for me.
