No kidding, and it has changed more in the last six months than it did in the last sixty years if you ask me!

I know and sadly the world is difficult for lads and lasses of today. God bless!

Well, it's always been difficult when too much is thrown at the lads and lasses before they're ready to handle it... I remember thinking how complex the world was 60 years ago,... and it actually was, what with the nuclear sword hanging over our heads, and the USA and the USSR racing pell-mell toward doomsday... :) gw

Youre right Gershon, its not the same world we knew when we were growing up. No conflicts, well ones you didn't hear much about, no pandemics and people actually spoke to one another, sadly we'll never see those days again. Tom

Well, where I live at least people talk to each about the pandemic and its various restrictions. Such pleasant topics. lol. ~At least we're talking, gw

So far, I'm only a 'grand dad.' My grandkids are playing 'keep away' from grandpa, I guess. Oh, well. (They're products of two divorces, so I really feel for them). ~ gw
