home delivery

Walking along my street, listening to a podcast on my iPhone, up pops an ad for Tim Hortons new home delivery, while watching Amazon and UPS drop off packages. My thought was, how 2021 is this! Rewind. It’s the early 90s in England, where I lived briefly. Seeing milk delivery vans making the rounds. Thinking this is so archaic. There haven’t been milk men in Canada for years. Rewind again. The 80s. Riding with the last milk man in Edmonton for a CBC Radio feature I produced. Rewind one final time to a very little me watching the milk man and bread man making regular visits to our house. I’m too young to remember ice home delivery.
