I just saw this on FB:

"...1971 and 2024 are as far apart as 1971 and 1918."

53 years.  You're right; it seems like an eternity when you glance at 1918 and 2024. For comparison sake use your own birth date and your age to go back. It's even scarier. Example. I was born 1947. 77 years takes the numbers back to 1870!! So the equation becomes "1947 and 2024 are as far apart as 1947 and 1870."

With this disturbing knowledge there is only one logical thing to do to maximize the time I have left on this orb.......and that is to collect more models!

I feel old enough without knowing that.

Well Tony, you have now ruined my day. How in the world did the year 1856 enter into my mind? To begin, I never imaged I would live to be this old. Interesting Chris.

Bob; I recommend going for a cruise in one of your beautiful collector cars; that will make your day sunny again!

77 years takes the numbers back to 1870!

Well, that's one interpretation but I say, no, no, no..... look at it this way Tony:  You're 77 in 1971, therefore (going backwards ) you would've been born in 1894. You feel better, right?  🤔 🤔 🤔

Careful. That might mean climbing out of bed twice in one day. Bit of a strain on the system. Might be better to just close your eyes and ignore The Lounge for a while until this posts sinks out of sight.

I have an even better idea! I now identify as a 25-year-old billionaire.

I have an even more betterer idea.  Having reviewed my dog Otis' life of total leisure I'm identifying as a poodle-terrier cross.

....but most everything I read about you on social media claims that you're already an old salty dog...  😏 😏 😏
