Actually, I'm older than you. But as I grew up in Canada, I missed out entirely on HBO and Wal-Mart, hence coming across as a young'un. I suppose I should take that as some sort of compliment. PS - Did you check out the bolt stunner Web site? Just curious what you thought of that. Shannon, thanks for reading. Actually, I’m older than you.

There are those of us (largely in our 30s, who entered our teen years in the 80s) who probably wouldn't wonder if HBO had "been around that long" without a tremendous amount of irony added to the question. I remember very clearly watching Smokey and the Bandit (1977) on HBO in my grandmother's basement. Clearly, I'm also not that surprised that you found the ATMs and Wal-Mart stores to be period correct. In commenting, I don't mean to condescend to you as "one of those young'uns". I just find it interesting that I can place your age - which I will guess is between 18 and 25 - based on this blog post.
