    JM>   When my widowed mother and I moved to Colorado Springs, CO in August   
    JM> 1964 I got smart and got an afternoon route. And that one was right on   
    JM> my way home.   
      
     That afternoon paper went out of business long ago.   
      
    JM>   I picked up the paper across the street from the school, walked home   
    JM> tossing them here and there.  When I got about a block from home they   
    JM> were gone.   
      
     I got so where I could throw them from the bicycle, and make them go on   
   the porch of the residence.   
      
    JM>   It was a warm afternoon and tossing on paper I was off a bit and   
    JM> instead of landing on the porch it sailed through a open window into   
    JM> their living room!  I could never do that again if I tried.   
      
     Somebody's meal just got ruined. :P   
      
    JM>   One was a Schwinn Suburban.  It was a 10 speed on a three spreed   
    JM> frame, which I referred to as "the station wagon of bicycles".  :)   
      
     Mine was blue...but I don't remember if it was a Suburban. The one I   
   had growing up was a Sting Ray with a red "banana seat".   
      
    JM>   As John Cameron Swayze used to say about them: They take a licking   
    JM> and keep on ticking.   
    JM>   My current watch is a Timex.   
    JM>   Doesn't say where it was made.  Probably China.  Everything else is.   
      
     But, where does China make their China??   
      
    JM>   I wear one only when I positively, no excuse have to.  But its the   
    JM> last thing to go on and the first to come off.  Thankfully now the only   
    JM> place those are required are buses and medical facilities.   
    JM>   Oh, and in cabs and the like.   
      
     I'm the same way...although I saw a COVID-19 meme, where the guy doing   
   his shopping at Wal-Mart was dressed like he was going into a HazMat Zone.
