100 years ago today

Recommended Posts

My Dad was born in London.

Cars were a novelty.
Telephones were a novelty.
There were no commercial radio stations.
TV hadn't been invented.
Titanic hadn't been built.
Houses were mostly lit by gas lights.
A "lamplighter" lit the street lights (gas) each evening.
No powered airplane had flown in England.
Effective antibiotics were still decades in the future.
Milk and bread were delivered daily to your house.

What changes 100 years make.
...

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

The last 100 years have seen the most drastic changes in the history of mankind. The next 100 years will outdo the last 100 years by a thousand-fold, if we don't all kill each other. :P

Is he still kicking around?

Very cool if he is.



No, he died at 92.


Nice... most of the women in my family for some reason live into their 90's... It's the men that can't quite seem to complete their 70's... Hell, they probably thanked God they didn't have to. :D
