Actually I see the 60's & 70's a slower pace for me individually, society was more unusal back then - streakers, emphasis on: free speech, & constitutional rights. I do remember the Atlantic Ocean was not blue. It was black. I love the ocean but when I went to swim back then I came out immersed in black oil, I couldn't get off. I was determined that was going to change. Now when I go to the Jersey Shore, the water is a gorgeous blue. I take notice, give thanks, and I am thrilled every time.
Thanks,
