The third movement (Andante moderato) of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 6

From the way back machine

 Via friend and commenter JeffS. Do y'all remember these?

There was a period of a couple of years when I and my two best friends would go to McDonald's late Sunday morning/early afternoon practically every week to eat some burgers and fries after a long Saturday night of, er, Bible study or some such, and I remember these ashtrays. Overall, I spent more time in Burger Kings, however, but they had ashtrays, too.

I used to think of the 1970s as a low, tacky sort of decade, and I guess it was, but now that I'm approaching my dotage, I find that I have a lot of good memories from that time.

Actually, based on the way those two justices have voted on occasion, I've been tempted to throw something at them, too; but then, I'm not running for office.
