Yes, I do remember those references, Blondie. But, what a pain it was to invent a bagged lunch while you hurdled to get your seat saved.
Which grocery was opened early enough to sell you items to prepare a lunch. You were expected to be there for the day, and not supposed to leave during lunch hour to shop for lunch. If that is not a burden.
We are fortunate to drive only 45 minutes to the DA. I feel for those that have to struggle with this.
It was a lot kinder in the good ol days.
