Oh? Like what? Why I like heavy industrial and techno? Why I got so polluted

Not me, too snooty for me, I was there between late 1966 and March 1968, and
we lived at 123 S (?.. maybe N) Baron Street, between Main and King. I was
between 6 and 8 at the time. Dad was controller at Webb Canada. I
reprogrammed a computer (well actually it was a programmable card sorter but
they told me it was a computer) by pulling all the patch wires out. They
loved me. Not.

I can remember that there was a BP station that ran Matchbox promotions a
lot and I would always hound Mom to get gas there. I also remember riding
the electric buses which ran down King, I think it was. And going to Simpson
Sears and wheedling a box of something (white 4x4 L bricks were a favorite
of mine) or another...
