We still don't unless we go to the big citys.
Our garage at home is unlocked right now too. The house is locked, though it's not a big deal if we left it unlocked.

Remember when skis had straight edges?

Hey Pebu, I missed the bit where you gave me your address.

Remember when you could give someone your address without a second thought. And it usually didn't need a house number.

Remember:

The original Big Wheel and the Green Machine and spinning out in the driveway?

Slide rules?

Digital watches with red LED numbers (I had a Star Wars one)?

Ginos Hamburgers (was that a Northeast thing?) How about Pappy's Pizza?

Remember when:

There were no aluminum bats?

And when your driver, 3-wood and 5-wood were made of wood. And there were no cavity back irons, only forged blades?

Somehow, I painstakingly wrote a term paper using Basic on a TRS-80, before we has a word processing program.

Making your own gaskets from a sheet of rubber for the VW Beetle - the same one you shut your little brother in the trunk (in the front) and the same one you sat in the little space behind the back seat because your dad was carpooling during the gas crisis and all the seats were full?

Remember the gas crisis?

Remember the seat in the back of the station wagon that faced backwards?

Remember paneling on the same station wagon?

Remember when the only seat belt was a lap belt (and we never used it)?

Remember when a child could sit in the front seat? And there were no "car seats?"

Yup. I remember paying 25 to 32-cents a gallon to put it into my dirt-bike when living in California. I could ride all afternoon for 50-cents!

Remember learning how to type on a manual (non-electric) typewriter? Never thinking you would really use the skills but taking the class in high school because it was an easy "A"?

Way back when everyone in the class had a choice of learning about the IBM PC or the Apple II.... I picked the Apple, as I figured the PC was sure to be a dead end. Opps

Perhaps I'm showing my age but when I was in school, an Apple was something that grew on trees

Zaniax

Remember when Newton invented the apple ? :p

No, because at the time 18 was the legal drinking age. I do remember my 18th birthday though. :)

I only remember parts of mine. And I'm only 23, so it wasn't that long ago.
