that Kmart cafeteria from the 80s was so

classic. I remember as a kid getting full blown hot meals there, like Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes.

Listening to WKBW radio in the late ‘60’s was my introduction to top 40 radio. FM radio wasn’t a thing. I couldn’t do it justice explaining just how great a summertime experience listening to ‘KB was. If you listened then you know.
 

It was a premier powerhouse rock-n- roll station up and down the east coast.

Was anyone else a member of Joey Reynolds Royal Order of the Night People?
 

There was a purple membership card.

My sense of smell is not what it used to be. (I’ll get there, I promise!) It’s a nice early summer night here, with a light breeze. I tried to let the dogs out but the older dog wouldn’t go if I didn’t. I went out and sat on a patio while the neighbor behind us cut his grass. He’s got a fairly big lot for a push mower, so it takes him a while. He almost hummed me to sleep. 

 

When I was 14 in NY I got my working papers. I was too young to do much else, so I pushed a lawnmower for 40 hours a week at the complex we lived in. The hum of the engine, the vibration and the smell of the gas and the fresh cut grass stays with you. 

 

When I gave in to the dog tonight and went down to the patio I realized the smell of his fresh cut grass from the guy behind us was the strongest scent I can remember. I sat down and listened and smelled until he finished. It was crazy how the smell took me back to that time. Much like when I get a fresh whiff of tidal marsh around Hilton Head, or crushed shell pathways in Harbour Town. 

 

Smell doesn’t get enough credit.

Now, Banquet Brand frozen entrees, there was a single item that you could stuff yourself full on.  Home from bar crawling, half schnabled, put in oven for an hour.  Fall asleep, retrieve badly overdone entre when up in three hours for a leak. 🙁
