V is for... VHS


Oh the wonderful VHS. An enlarged, rectangular cassette containing 800 feet of the finest visual tape for my entertaining pleasures. My VHS library, truly, I had a four-walled dwelling that was dedicated to these boxed cases of nostalgic remedies: The Wizard of Oz, Toy Story, pre-Vaulted Disney films (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Jungle Book, Cinderella, etc), Home Alone, The Sandlot, Homeward Bound, The Sound of Music....

There was a time, sweet little iPeople, when we had to "be kind and rewind",  use a "tracking" button, and hope that an evening away from the tube will end with a recorded Friends episode on the 8 hour blank tape preset earlier that afternoon.
