GO, MAN, GO! It always got me, when I went back to school, the "kids" that griped about their section going much further through a text than another section. And I'm like, "You both paid the same money, but you got more benefit!"
I had a JCP set of radial tires, a cb radio, and a home stereo set.
Malls are gone, what a mess. I figured when malls came in you'd be able to get everything from soup to nuts; the best tools, the best hobby stuff, the best sports stuff, musical instruments, you name it. To my young mind it was supposed to be a place you could get anything. And it started out kinda good; you could get a piano if you'd like, there were a few decent toy stores for kids, but never any hobby stores
We didn't have pre-algrbra. It was Algebra I (8th grade, junior high) then Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-calculus, and Calculus. Pre-calc was advanced trig, but also conic sections, exponentials and logs, limits, sequences and series, and polynomials.
Fairly similar to ours then (I graduated high school in 1973). 7th grade was pre-algebra.
I designed the Dillards department store at Galleria at Sunset, and added on to the Dillards store at Meadows mall.
There is a picture in Stine's book, at least in some of the earlier editions, showing an analog computer for altitude determination, it is pretty much a few protractors with dowels attached to them.
Barry Switzer!
Loved the dirt bikes....
The Meadows mall is long gone. Haven't been to Henderson in years so Galleria might still be there. From Pahrump to the Galleria is 68 miles according to Google and that's not even close. When I looked up how far it was I didn't understand. It's a lot farther than that. It also says an hour and 9 minutes. You can't make I 15 that quick and the mall is 30 minutes to and hour from there depending on traffic and the traffic is horrible. I looked up how far Nellis is from here. It's closer to 100 than the 70 Google says. I asked Google how far it is from Pahrump to the range I worked at and it said 67 miles and it's 55. Google doesn't now what it's talking about. It's cool that you designed Dillards. What other buildings have you done?
Modern research is catching up.
I also recall people saying put a "plug of tobacco" on a bee sting. That one I never understood."Rubbin' some dirt on it" is definitely a generational marker for those of us of a certain age.

In LV area I did the first 4 parts of Summerlin hospital. It has had more added since then to the point that it is even hard for me to recognize it.. In the TV show "CSI" they would show aerial photos of the hospital and at one point I had to look close to figure out the parts I worked on. I also designed the first part of St. Rose hospital in Henderson, it has also grown since then. Both of those were done right about 2000, the Dillards stores were a few years before that.
You are drugged so you forget the sting!
If not already mentioned -- slide rules. We used them in chemistry class.
Soon you will have a drone do it and we’ll never need to talk to anyone again…Remember when a kid bagged your groceries and brought them out to your car for you?
Now I have somebody do my grocery shopping, drive to my house, and bring the bags to my front door. Ah, the good old days.
Drone delivery is skeet shooting, with prizes!
And a fine for every hit…
OK and Nebraska were the big boys back then. That rivalry is gonna be missed for ages. Money has ruined college football.
