Today is my father's 81st birthday. Happy birthday pops!
Imagine how things have changed since he was born... air travel, radio, television, man on the moon, the Internet... Facebook!
In 1930 Herbert Hoover was the President, astronomers discovered Pluto, the best movie was "All Quiet on the Western Front", gasoline was priced at 17 cents a gallon and unemployment was 8.9%.
Today: Barrack Obama is President, Pluto got demoted from being a planet, the best movie in 2009 was "Slumdog Millionaire" , gasoline is over $3.00 a gallon and unemployment is over 9%.
Is that progress? you tell me!
A warm California Happy Birthday sent out to Snowy Michigan... we love you Dad.
