and the bathroom was the path out back.. just saying.. it has not been that long ago, 60 years back.. and no my Grandpa and Grandma were not back to the earth types.. it is just that things have moved a lot quicker than most realize.. plastics the bane of our existence.. since the 60's.. I bet you a dollar to a doughnut.. at least 1/2 the people on DU remember when paper straws were the norm not the up and coming new thing ..
