More Coffee Lovers Collecting Mugs

by Alexa Ferotina

It is hard to remember the ’60’s. They say if you do, you weren’t really there. Our parents (that is, of us baby boomers) think the whole generation was “bad”. Of course some good came out of it as well. We became, well, uh, more natural. We started liking organic things for instance.

Of course the music was great from that generation; it is easy for us (baby boomers) to see that it is often copied. We see it, but the new kids do not. That’s okay. Much good came from that generation aside from the music. Health food awareness evolved. The jury is still out if all the good foods, vitamins, minerals, monthly fasts, etc. counteracted all the nasty chemicals we put into our bodies “out of experimentation”. Yes Virginia, I DID inhale. But that was my business and I don’t inhale now unless it is Vick’s Vaporub. I am picky with my medicines in my older age.
