          we still have mopeds down here. The DUI people use them as they don't need a liscense for them.

                      Not all of the above are gone, I still visit record stores, and have a TV antenna on top of my house to pull in OTA channels in superb quality HD.

                                Oops! But I did have rabbit ears for the top of my TV before I bought a rooftop version. Some people don't know that old fashioned rabbit ears can pull in over the air HD TV signals, but they do and they work great.
