Ice traders were cool! I thought about going back in time and becoming one not terribly long ago. I think that would be the sort of thing I'd try to do if I were alive 150 years ago, give or take.
I'm firmly in Gen X, but approaching the tail end, so I got to see a bunch of that tech you identified with Millennials coming to fruition during my adolescence. The thing was, I was anchored to the Gen X tech, so I never adopted CDs - like never. I owned LPs, 7 inches, and tapes. CD players came out and I never bought one, so I just leapfrogged straight to streaming.
No way- I was super into mixtapes! I really liked to get the timing right so there would be a little pause and NO commercials or DJs talking, just like I had purchased a tape with the song I wanted on it.
I didn't know about lumberjacks cutting ice in the winter. That was helpful for maintaining an income year round. Thanks for the info.
The lakes around the cabin are called Ice Lakes and I vaguely knew why, but I didn't realize it was such a big bizness.

Did you skip tapes? I gave and got mix tapes and my college was all tapes on the boombox
