life as slow as it gets

Yeah, we found an ancient issue of National Geographic in the old book store. Volume XLVIII, dated July, 1925. It’s as old as my late grandmother. Vintage shit i tell you. All of it were shipped all the way from the U.S. Most of them were taken right from the U.S. library. Some even have the library stamp.
We bought it for RM80.00. Ours belong to someone by the name Ruth Owens *god bless her, whomever and where ever she is. Back in 1925, the issue would have cost a cheap $0.50.
Back in 1925, the brand OshKosh wasn’t carrying fashionable kids wear. It carried trunks. Trunks that we now call antiques.
Back in 1925, men shaved with single blade Gillette razors instead of 3 bladed Mach3 Turbo.
Back in 1925, typing means tapping your fingers against keys on typewriters instead of keyboards and winding the lever up for a second line.
Back in 1925, Chrysler Six is cruising on the road. Now it’s in showrooms or maybe sitting in an old garage. Maybe.
Back in 1925, who the hell heard of mobile phones?
Back in 1925, Kodak advertises in Black and White. LOL
The shop owner has an issue from way back in the 1880’s. That’s even older than my grandmother. It might be the very first issue. Damn. He’s auctioning it off soon. If only i have the moolah. LOL
