And now that I have a working turntable again, I’ve been playing my old vinyl…some of it is even older than this…
I just picked up a Spinners album Pick of the Litter for a couple of bucks – 1975, brand new, still in the shrink-wrap. Makes me feel like a kid again, getting to open a new LP!
And in another non-news release from The Department of Useless Arithmetic:
The album release date was actually even farther from the present day, because the above was written on June 11th.
Today, June 26th, is 23,107 days from the day it came out.
And every day we live, amazingly enough, takes us farther from the past.
Anything that happened before April 6th, 1963 is now closer to 1899 than 2026.
And if my mother were still alive, this Sunday would be her 112th birthday. In only 18 more years, she’ll have been gone for as long as she lived. That has already happened to loads of people born in the 19th century, and everybody born in the 18th.
I know, I know… but I told you it was useless arithmetic.
I ran across this interesting snippet. It doesn’t seem like that long ago, but….
That’s just about enough to freak me out…
