Dial-Up internet. Unfortunately, it's still here because the ISPs continue to fail to deliver on the promise of expanding broadband over and over.

And because of that, it's no wonder internet isn't expanded to everywhere in the country of USA.

I have very strong memories of fast food and going out with my family to restaurants like Applebees and Chilis. Family meals that I remember sitting together and ordering, the crayons at the table, bits and pieces come back.

As an adult, never try to relive those memories. The people are what you're remembering, not the food or the atmosphere, and even then if you are the food and atmosphere are just gone. Leave the memories in the past, make new ones now. At better places.
