Changing times....

I was thinking this morning about how much things have changed in the world since my grandparents were born.  From horse and carriage to driverless vehicles, telegraph to cell phones, the advent of movie and newsreels to live streams and Zoom, steam ships to supersonic jets, everything has changed.  They lived through Spanish Influenza, WWI, the Great Depression and WWII, all before we knew the outcome, when everything must have seemed so uncertain and topsy turvy, when money was scarce and inflation was rampant, and then into the heady days of post WWII affluence and excess and the dawn of the Boomer generation.
