A Day in 1986

The 1980s. Advancements in technology, society, medicine, music, automobiles, and so much more flourished the decades. Like any time period, there was the best of times and there was the worst of times. And Amethyst Star remembers most of the good days, like when she was starting summer...

Ah, 1986. The year that brought us the Growlers, Chernobyl, and countless other things I've probably forgotten.

The time you had to put Tinfoil on Tv and radios to get them to work

Nice work all around. Good little slice-of-life story. ^_^

(Caught one typo near the very end. Third paragraph from the bottom - "omre" future meetups?)

This is great! I'm really touched by how you said my Typical 80s Life story inspired you to write this!

1986: The good, the bad, and the ugly.

The year when the Iran-Contras was taking place, the Challenger explosion, Chernobyl, and Crack-Cocaine and AIDS epidemics.

Yet, it was a year when RUN-DMC’s Raising Hell went platinum, along with the Beastie Boys’ License To Ill. Oprah Winfrey’s show debutes nationally. Apple releases the Macintosh Plus, and Nintendo (despite being released in 1985) hits success with their NES. Finally, Gorbachev and Regan begin their Peace talks (which would eventually lead to the end of the Cold War).

Yep, different times.

A red 1972 muscle car, or more specifically for all the car experts, a Plymouth Road Runner. Personally she didn't care; the car functioned fine, it was still in good condition, she was content with it. Although she did get a little jealous seeing all the new hot pimped out rides that were being pumped out these days, especially when some teenagers came to school with spankin' new rods to show off.

give it about 34 years, and that road runner in good condition will pull $30K all day long!
