You Know You Are Old When

A while back, I bought a bunch of the flip top storage bins and spent an entire day sorting all the "stuff" into them and labeling each one denoting the contents. One is entirely full of boxes of screws and nails, and must weigh ~50lbs. Electrical wiring supplies, painting, tiling and plumbing items all together in their respective bins. Makes finding what you need much easier.

Nice. Mine are basically the industrial-duty version of those, and I've been stalling about 30 years on getting around to making a rack for them. Lids purchased separately, but there's no problem with putting several hundred pounds in a single stack, you won't crush these very easily.

In the same vein as the Schnozola's quote, you know you're old when you know who opened his show with some variation of, "Good evening Mr. and Mrs. America, from border to border and coast to coast and all the ships at sea. Let’s go to press."

I do remember that but not who said it. Walter Winchell?

You are correct, Sir.
Sometimes I watch old episodes of TV's The Untouchables. Walter's narration is my favorite part of the show.
Those old newsreels and the commentators like Walter Winchell were mesmerizing to watch. The WWII style with film of moving armies and rough-edged reporters continued well into the 1950's or later and it was thrilling.
