Time seems to be whipping past incredibly fast.
The nation is having a 250th birthday come 4 July and I haven't even managed to recover from the Bicentennial yet which was only fifty years ago.

===================================
Yesterday for the hell oof it I watched a couple of episodes of The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin and Captain Gallant of the Foreign Legion, both of which I have not seen in over 65 years.
It was interesting seeing how primitive TV was back in the 50s when I was 7 or 8.
Both were typical 50s western format. A young orphan boy growing up in Fort Apache and a young boy growing up in a Foreign Legion outpost. Captain Gallant was just a western format but set in a different setting.
Back then every small boy was envious of Rusty and Cuffy because they got to grow up among Old School Real Men.
It took two or three decades to realize we had grown up among real men because it takes a lot of moxie to settle down and raise a couple of kids and do it right.
