What year is it? Because in some NJ suburbs, commutable to NY, 3-4 bedroom houses were going for under $30K in the late 60s. (In the town I'm thinking of, most of the older Victorians were going for average $750,000 the last time I looked. In what? Just around forty years.)

I'm five years old! I have actual memories of '66. Indeed the xmas of '66 holds some of my earliest memories.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm still waiting quietly in my mom's ovaries, but I expect to be conceived by the season finale.
