Throwback image
Someone posted this online. Yes, what a throwback memory or when McD’s had ashtrays on their tables and you could smoke! In the once upon a time the largest McD’s restaurant in the world, right there in Tamuning….

I saw this in a social media chat group. I snagged it… whoever posted the pic, thanks, eh!

Kids, what were your PARENTS doing?
I was doing a search a few days ago for something that, I don’t know, had American and Online as tags, and Bing came up with America Online, as in AOL. I hadn’t seen the old AOL logos and screenshots of their actual screens in ages. Yeah, yeah, our family got into AOL back in the day when they were a “formidable…
