and didn’t seem to get trashed. 🤣

We cut brown paper shopping bags to make book covers.....

My first grade school teacher in Ft. Lauderdale asked each student to bring an empty cigar box on the first day to use as a pencil, etc. holder. Strange thing is that I even remember that box many years later. (Might be the only thing I remember from 1st grade )

With the advent of AI, I think I will be trading in my newspaper hat for one made of tinfoil. You can never be too careful.

Miss Gulch and the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz.

I can hear the music they play in that scene. The tempo matches her pedaling rhythm.
