Joe,

 JM>   When my widowed mother and I moved to Colorado Springs, CO in August
 JM> 1964 I got smart and got an afternoon route. And that one was right on
 JM> my way home.

  That afternoon paper went out of business long ago.

 JM>   I picked up the paper across the street from the school, walked home
 JM> tossing them here and there.  When I got about a block from home they
 JM> were gone.

  I got so where I could throw them from the bicycle, and make them go on
the porch of the residence.

 JM>   It was a warm afternoon and tossing on paper I was off a bit and
 JM> instead of landing on the porch it sailed through a open window into
 JM> their living room!  I could never do that again if I tried.

  Somebody's meal just got ruined. :P

 JM>   One was a Schwinn Suburban.  It was a 10 speed on a three spreed
 JM> frame, which I referred to as "the station wagon of bicycles".  :)

  Mine was blue...but I don't remember if it was a Suburban. The one I
had growing up was a Sting Ray with a red "banana seat".

 JM>   As John Cameron Swayze used to say about them: They take a licking
 JM> and keep on ticking.
 JM>   My current watch is a Timex.
 JM>   Doesn't say where it was made.  Probably China.  Everything else is.

  But, where does China make their China??

 JM>   I wear one only when I positively, no excuse have to.  But its the
 JM> last thing to go on and the first to come off.  Thankfully now the only
 JM> place those are required are buses and medical facilities.
 JM>   Oh, and in cabs and the like.

  I'm the same way...although I saw a COVID-19 meme, where the guy doing
his shopping at Wal-Mart was dressed like he was going into a HazMat Zone.
