Holy crap! I knew computers used to be HUGE, but had no idea that the mail used to be much larger too!

The mailman must must have been 50 feet tall back then. :biggrin1:
 
I've seen here in Houston a pretty good number of homes built in the 50's and early 60's that had open bbq pits made from brick. Some were no doubt built by the homeowner, but I think also the builder would offer these up as an option, like it was a trendy thing there for a while. Some of these pits still stand as built, but most are pretty much rubble at this point.

Relics from another time.
 
We had one of those behind our house that we lived in when I was very young back in the 1960's. I put the fire out with the garden hose one time playing fireman. That really ticked my Mother off. :-D
