My personal credit card was going to expire pretty soon. So the new one arrived last week. It does not expire until the year 2024. Dang that just sounds like the far distant future. 2024 will be here in a few months I suspect.
Once again I remember as a kid in grade school reading about Halley's Comet and I did the math and figured I would be in my early 30s and really OLD by then. I was one of the first few to see it in Oklahoma in 1986. I was big into astronomy back then and the astronomy club had a star party at a members house, well really his back yard. We had to stay up all fricking night to wait for it to rise above the horizon. It was just a little fuzzy blob in his 28 inch telescope. Totally disappointing.
I also remember we all went to breakfast, and then drove home. I was just going to bed about 8:00 AM and my mom called. I told her I was out all night looking at the stars, planets, and Halley's Comet. She paused and said they did not call it that when they were out all night. I told her, no really I was out in a field looking up. The cheapest hobby ever. Look UP!
