Soldier Ant 

Apropos of nothing, here are 10 things that, when I think of them, make me feel like a bright-eyed little kid again:

1. Don Knotts as the Incredible Mr. Limpet.
2. Fun Dip!
3. The old Ohio Power Campgrounds (now AEP).
4. Daisy BB guns.
5. The legend of the Black Lady.
6. Disco.
7. BMX Bikes
8. Burt Reynolds movies. Particularly Hooper
9. Hard plastic Cincinnatti Reds batting helmets.
10. 10-cent deposits on tall Coke bottles. (And the bags of penny-candy we'd buy with the proceeds. Especially those little creepy liquid-filled wax skulls.)
