I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon.
I've wondered the same thing when I read about all the discoveries documented and brought back by ship. Paper that didn't crumble or mold from all the temperature variances.
I'm not as comfortable storing things in the cloud myself, I have external hard drives that I transfer data too and then disconnect from my computer so it is hack proof. Not that I really have data anyone would want but it is personal to me.
But then I think about the close living quarters on a ship how did anyone have room for storage to bring back? Darwin was indeed lucky on the HMS Beagle.
I hadn't expected the selection of herbs to be so good. I'm definitely buying a lot, curious to see if the taste is different than what we have here in the states. I know roasted chili on the east coast is milder than it is here in Vegas.
In the USA we still experience problems between whites and blacks. Muslims are ill-used, Jewish are often attacked. I'm glad for the special days on the calendar to remind us that there is a way forward for a better world. Martin Luther King and Mandel special people.
Until I saw this site it never really hit home how horrible life is for anyone who doesn't have white skin.
The existence of this memorial needs to be a constant reminder that it happened and can never happen again. If you're interested Nelson Mandela's autobiography is riveting to read. It's a poignant and powerful reminder of what cruelty man can inflict on another.
