In March 2011 Kip and I lived together in a house in eastern Tennessee we had bought 2 years before.  Kip and I each have a car.  Mine is different from the one I had in 1991.  It has ordinary seat belts also.  Dad seems to have gotten over the idea that I will smash into a tree or something.

In March 2001 I was living in a tiny duplex in Tigard (or Metzger, depending on which utility you asked) Oregon.  Kip was living in Eugene, but we were planning to get married in August.  I had a car that was different from the 1991 car.  It had ordinary seat belts.  I kind of missed the old ones.

In March 1991 I was living in Amarillo, Texas, in a garage that had been converted into a one room efficiency apartment, with two cats, Apollo and Sunshine.  It would be another year or so before I met Kip.  I had an actual car.  Dad put really heavy-duty helicopter-type seat belts in it.  I called them the passenger mechanical aptitude test, because I think I had one passenger in all the time I owned that car that figured the seat belt out for himself.

In March 1981 I was living in McNary Hall at the University of Oregon.  I didn't have a roommate that year.  I had a good road bike--that may have been the year I rode it 55 miles to the beach and back.  My parents bought me a bike helmet after that ride.

In March 1971 I was living in a two bedroom house in Portland Oregon, with my mom, dad, and brother.  I think I got my first bicycle that year.

Oh, I've always wanted to fit a proper 5-point harness in a car! And yes, I do know how to lock and unlock one, I've done piloting (although never yet flown in a helicopter).

So you're British, right?

No, I was born in Seattle, Washington, USA.

I guess most of the people doing the meme are British but I didn't see any reason why I shouldn't join in. Memes know only linguistic boundaries, after all. :-)

This post made me smile in a nostalgic way, and got me thinking of my own decades. Thank you.
