Realizing my age

I was born in 1949, it is 2016, and I fully expect to live to and past 2020.

And that calls to mind that some people who were children during The Civil War lived to see Women's Suffrage, The Great War, Prohibition, the Crash of 1929, and The Great Depression.

Some saw The Russian Revolution, Lenin and Stalin, the rise of Mussolini and Franco, and even the appointment of Reichs-Chancellor Hitler.

A single lifetime can cover a lot of history.
