First up, the racist babbling sister primitive, who thinks "darky" and "pickaninny" toys are "cute":

Moon landing-are you old enough to remember where you were?

I was a mother's helper for 4 kids.  On Long Island, Fire Island. I saw it because it rained for a week or more where I was. I recall lots of rain.

Now, this is a bonfire very enormous and very interesting, and has lots and lots of Primitives of Prominence at it, including the rarely-seen Leona Helmsley of DUmmieland, the "flyarm" primitive, among others.

It's a very good bonfire, where the primitives unwittingly reveal how old they are.

Me, I watched the moon landing on television with my father.  We went to the hospital to watch it there, as there was no television in any house in which I grew up.  I was a lad, and didn't much care for it, watching something on television.

About all I remember of it was that it was pretty late at night (in the central time zone), and my father and I were watching it in the darkened employee's cafeteria of the hospital.  When man first stepped on the moon, franksolich was sitting very close to the television, trying to read a 1924 copy of the Saturday Evening Post by the light of the screen, that someone then at the hospital had found at her home, and given me some minutes before.

Among the Primitives of Prominence is Pedro Picasso, who was ten years old at the time.

You know, the other day I had to look up Milledgeville, Georgia, in the atlas--I used the gigantic 1936 Rand-McNally version in the dining room, as I didn't want to walk way over to the other side of the house to consult a more-recent one.  And it was okay, because it's not like Milledgeville has packed up and moved to a new location since 1936.

Georgia in the atlas is next to Florida in the atlas, and so I went back one page, to find this place where Pedro Picasso allegedly grew up, Cocoanut Beach or Cocoa Grove, or something like that.

I couldn't find it.

You suppose this Cocoanut Beach or Cocoa Grove or whatever it is, was a post-world war two Levittown?

Cocoanut grove used to be a real magnet for the "stars and starlet" scene back in the day. Lot of blues and jazz in the nightclubs. Many a "player" got their start there.
