I would not say in many cases, that they lived "longer".. on the contrary..
The average for that entire generation was waay lower
And Child mortality was much higher

I knew that there had been essentially constant lengthening, but that's an interesting graph. I assume the dip in the early 1900s is due to WWI.

Meh that could be Anytown, USA I'd think.
(But hot damn how did you identify Breezewood? The original post on another website said it was in PA.)

There is a truck stop town like that in KY or TN iirc on the I-75 corridor but I'm forgetting the name. Nothing but miles of mountain wilderness before and after. You cross the hill and enter a huge wide-open bowl. Below in the center is an exit with a solid mass of concentrated signs and businesses. The 'fog' from semi brake n jake can be seen on both sides. It's a memorable view. And the only hope of gas around.

..and I had this pegged at X175 - I-95 S, Rocky Mount, NC.

Breezewood was a lot less complicated when I was schooling in Loretto, PA (1964-1968) - ez on - ez off. One station,with an in-house eatery.

It may or may not be BW, but the amazing thing is you do NOT, at least a few years ago, have the option of NOT going through the stoplights making the switch from the Penn TP to I-70S in Breezewood.

The most inane thing on any road in the USA.

box-bed
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-bed

The box-bed is closed on all sides by panels of wood. One enters it by removing curtains, opening a door hinge or sliding doors on one or two slides. The bed is placed on short legs to prevent moisture due to a dirt floor.

In front of the box-bed was often a large oaken chest, with the same length as the bed. This was always the 'seat of honour,' and served also as a step for climbing into the bed. It was also used to store clothing, underwear and bedding the rest of the time.

In Brittany, the closed-bed (French: lit-clos) (Breton: gwele-kloz) is a traditional furnishing. In homes with usually only one room, the box-bed allowed some privacy and helped keep people warm during winter. Similar enclosed bed furniture was once also found in western Britain; Devon, Cornwall, Wales particularly in Gower.

Some closed-beds were built one above the other in a double-decker, two-story arrangement. In this case, young people would sleep above.

It was the main furniture of rural houses in Brittany until the 20th century. Often carved and decorated, it was the pride of its owners.

Closed-beds were 1.60 to 1.70 m length, long enough for people of that region who were rather small. And because they slept in an almost sitting position, they leaned on three or four pillows.

Love that clover. Like a public skid pad.

Many years ago, there was a Pelican/Houston meet and greet. One of the guys lived fairly near than clover, and took us to his house. In the process, we all drove all 4 corners of that clover once or twice. For about 7 years, I lived less than half a mile from there and drove it from time to time.

Allen Parkway and Memorial were some of the most interesting roads in the area.

Which seems odd , 11K feet is to low for such cruise
and his mach gauge seems off
