That'll explain it ... I wasn't even in school yet

They started cutting back on door to door and went mail order and had outlet stores

Where I grew up there were only inlet stores

Companies basically ceased door to door and home delivery in the early 60's. We used get milk delivered every other day, bread and stuff from Helms Bakery. That stopped and you'd get their products at the grocery store. This was in suburbia, LA county

son, guess who built it. We appreciate it when you simply say "thank you"

Glad you're still spry enough to take a joke!

Big thank you though, in sincerity.

OMG HELMS!!! They had the BEST eclairs in the world, nothing has ever equaled a Helms eclair. Remember the truck and they would pull out these wooden shelves with baked special wonders on them. I eschewed the ice cream truck for Helms.

His dad really did build the infrastructure I had the privilege to direct traffic upon, once upon a time. He's a living legend. My son is an EE and I'm hoping to have my young EE speak to the emeritus EE and be witness to that conversation hoping the stars align.

We got bread and milk delivered when I was a kid. I specifically remember those thick glass milk bottles. But what I remember and what I miss the most was the iced pound cake. Nothing even comes close today.
I used to drink lots of milk back in the day when there was no such thing as lactose intolerance or 2% for that matter. Surprised I even survived after growing up on Lucky Charms and er, ah Fruit Loops.

I'm becoming convinced that ANC is actually a consortium that searches the internet for wacky photos and not an actual person.
