Dane Peterson@pjohanneson @pluralistic There was one still a real classic one in place at Colter Bay Visitor Center in Grand Teton National Park when we passed through in early October. It was the first I've seen in ages.
They used to be so important when I was a kid on vacation with my parents, travelling in a truck camper. We would find one every few days to call home, alternating between my maternal grandparents and paternal grandmother, with each of them subsequently relaying the details to the other.
Allan Chow@grumpasaurus @pjohanneson @pluralistic I loved that movie as a kid!! (And honestly still do.)
My mom had hooked her hifi up to the VCR and transferred the complete audio for both The Brave Little Toaster and Mary Poppins over to cassettes.
On those aforementioned vacations, my parents would entertain me by putting those on the car stereo, sometimes playing them multiple times in a row.
