And then you can’t find them or you forget that you hid them.

My wife and I hid Easter eggs for the grand kids this week during or ski trip since we won't be seeing them on Easter Sunday. We hid them around the house but not outside (too much snow). I thought for sure we would remember where we put them. We counted to make sure the grand kids found them all. We were two short. Neither my wife nor I could find the missing eggs. We had literally just hid them 30 minutes earlier.
We eventually found them but the reality is our short term memory is affected by age. However, I can still remember my teachers' names in grade school. |

My short term memory can't realistically be called "memory." I'll walk into a room and think, "I need to do [fill in the blank] before I leave this room," and then walk out of the room 2 minutes later without having done it.

When I was in the Navy we had a guy try to sneak a Hawaiian pineapple back into San Diego. He stuffed it in the back of one of the cabinets and forgot about it. After a month or so there was a foul odor coming from that part of the space. After a few days the pineapple, or what was left of it, was discouvered. It had pretty much turned into pineapple juice and he had to clean up the mess. Fortunately, nothing of any importance was damaged.

When I was a Cub Scout back in the 1950s one of my tasks was to learn to identify cars by make and model. I sort of became obsessed. My dad was a car guy and he helped me learn the subtle differences between makes, models, and years. Every September or October, the new model years would be unveiled by the car companies.

What was this guy's name in the show, and name the TV show he was in.
Try to do it without looking.

Yes. 👍
It’s "Byrnes." They had a song for him: "Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb." Lol

Prior to leaving the States we'd lived in Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana and knew basically nothing about LA and SoCal car culture. We thought the program was pretty cool.

Keeping in the theme of the thread, I lived in Southern California during the 60s. I got my drivers license in at 16 in 1965. The first thing I did was figure out how to get from the South Bay where I lived to Sunset Blvd. I was in a band at the time and I was always wanting to watch bands perform to learn what I could. So, you know you're old when you saw the Doors at Whisky a go go, Buffalo Springfield, Stevie Wonder when he was still called Little Stevie Wonder and so many more. What a great time. I went as often as I had gas money to get there and back. |

I was at the Whiskey too; saw Van Halen there in the 70s and Mötley Crüe in the 80s. Did you know Buffalo Springfield's song "For What it's Worth" was about the Sunset Strip curfew riots? Of course the riots were a little before my time but I used to hang out there, and Hollywood blvd. as a teenager. Wild and exciting times for sure.
