Adam@Home by Rob Harrell for May 24, 2023

Men have more positive expectations

and a happier creature, Kate. Remember that.

Actually, the very first Adam@Home was not oly in black and white, but also alluded to the Internet. Go on—click the left double arrow and see for yourself.

Does Adam even remember where that time capsule is??

In the last regular episode of the TV series M*A*S*H (not counting the grand finale "So long, Farewell, and Amen), the crew of the 4077th buried a time capsule containing their memories (including Radar’s teddy bear).

I find it a pity that there was never a “reunion” TV of the crew getting together in Korea and opening up that capsule—using clips from the regular series.

Sadly, many from the original cast have passed on. I especially miss David Ogden Stiers—his character of Charles Emerson Winchester was the most evolved in the series, going from Back Bay snob to “one of the boys”.

But does he remember where he buried it?

Better times (the pre-internet days). We kids had more imagination back then.

My kids — in the internet era — buried a time capsule at their school. Kids still have great imaginations and still love that stuff. It’s just that adults continually throw tech gadgets at them, almost as if we were trying to cut them off from the rest of the world.

Hmmfff! She has no idea! Some of us had outdoor toilets! And TV’s with three channels!

BC, AC, AD all are obsolete ways of denoting time. The big change was the internet. Before Internet, and Internet. BI and I. Around 1990? Or will “they” close the internet?

Saw an item on the news a few days ago. Some folk made a big deal, a ceremony and all, over going back and digging up a time capsule they, themselves, had buried 20 years ago. Seemed to kind of miss the whole point of a time capsule to me.

Calvin and his dad had a long conversation about the black and white world.

Move over Tom Selleck, it’s Adam P.I.

We were not. We were much more interesting because we had tg actually do the stupid stuff you see on the internet ourselves for entertainment.

Some years ago I told my 14-year-old grandson’s girlfriend that when I was a kid all we had were wood-burning televisions, and went into a fair bit of detail about how adjusting the steam valve determined which channel you got. She believed me.

Where did the whole time capsule concept come from?

My sister was born in ’77, and I was born in ’80.

We were pretty much feral, during the summer at least. Outside from about 8am till 8pm. Bath then bed by 8:30 for me.

We did drink from hoses, and other peoples houses … oh, and our friends would share a single bottle of pop.

We lived between the public pool, and a corner variety store, so, I – at age 5 through 8 – would gather money from the life guards, run to the other end of the block and get their drinks, popsicles, chocolate bars, chips etc … then I’d keep the change. I also used to sweep the parking lot of the store for a full box of chocolate popsicles.

Use you mind, I’m sure you can find some way to get in trouble.

Post internet kid…smart Alec….

And a LOT healthier and a LOT more well lived!!

Life is never black and white. It is every color of the rainbow, and NO, I am NOT talking about sexuality.

I have 3 niblings who are in their late 20s/early 30s. All of them know about the various things that people think that “young” people do not know about (and one of them is on the autism spectrum).

On the other hand, husband has two nieces who are in their teens. They do not know about about anything they are not taught in school or does not relate to clothing and makeup.

Difference? Age? NO!! Their parents and what they teach them!
