You know you are old when:
They ask for your drivers license and they ask is this AD or BC !
I came across a kid one day listening to an LP (do you remeber these ? ) on the sidwalk. I was so astounished to see this I asked him why - his reply - for nostagia reasons !!!!!
I remember McDonalds sign that boasted "1 million hamburgers"
Black and White TV with only 3 channels (if you were lucky )
When every one made a dash for the stores late Saturdays because every thing was closed on Sundays !
When kids were taught reading writing and arithmetic and schools werent used for social engineering or endoctrination. And teachers were allowed to spank !

I remember just two channels in Omaha. Then we got an ABC affiliate, KETV channel 7. KETV recently saved the Omaha Burlington station by acquiring it and are now converting it into their news studio. Burlington Station is the prototype for Walthers Union Station kit and was facing an uncertain future.

You know you are getting old when you hear a new remake of an old song, sing heartily along with it, and the young ones ask "how did you learn the words so fast?"

Maybe it was a regional thing, but in Baltimore we had Almond Smash, produced by Suburban Beverage Corp. I don't know that it tasted like almonds, but it was red, carbonated and sweet.

You know when your getting old when hollywood try to remake classic movies from our era - and they all flop BIG STYLE. So maybe getting old aint that bad after all - we grew up in an age where people produced quality and had STANDARDS and produced outstanding things. Now we get boring and predicatable.
Hooray for us old folks.

Sit back and enjoy your track...
One knows you're getting old when there are "kids" you work with who were born after you started your train layout. (I started mine when I was an eight grader and my 20 year high school reunion was a couple of summers ago. I won't go into further details on that one.)
Lots of very funny comments!
I'm not old. I just keep getting taller than my hairline!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
