right now right here.

Almost no other place in history can a woman live alone and support herself.

Looking at the past is one thing but actually living there(if it was possible) would be too alien,could you imagine living in some cold damp house with no central heating electricity etc etc in say the
1880's ok roughing it for a week or so but after that well..
I remember asking my Gran if she missed the"old days"what she said surprised me but i can see her point she said "people go on about the good old days,but there was nothing good about them too much hard work and heartache"Sensible woman my Gran..

In the movie Zodiac, they made of point of showing what the technology (or lack thereof) of the 60's and early 70's was like. Jake Gyllenhaal's character had to go home to wait for a phone call...he used the library a lot...one police department didn't have a 'telefax' so they had to have files sent to them by regular mail.

But back then, there were no video games (except Pong

), so it was more fun for us kids to play outside than to stay inside. We could walk to school or to the store by ourselves, without our parents worrying about us being abducted by some crazy person (generally). It was before cable TV, so the Saturday morning cartoon lineup was something special to look forward to. I think I'd want to go back to that time, as a kid again.
