"rode our bikes to a pharmacy a mile away" I love it, Ted.
I rode my bike along the road on which I lived on Saturday mornings, eyes on the ditches looking for Coke bottles. People would buy cold drinks on Friday nights and toss the bottles as they left town. I'd gather them Saturday's, then go home and hose them off so they weren't nasty or muddy. Coke bottles got 4 cents back; Pepsi and RC stuff brought a 3 cent deposit. Then I'd buy as many wax packs of Topps cards as I could afford.
Thank you to the baseball card gods for allowing us bicycles.
