i turned 50 this week. i looked up a few things that were going on the year i was born.
1. the flintstones premiered
2. ben hur was a hot movie
3. the aluminum can was invented
4. cassius clay ( not yet muhammed ali ) won his first pro fight
5. gas was a quarter a gallon, and a brand new mustang was 2300 bux.
6. the foolish pic above passed for olympic-level winter sport
pardon me, while i go heat up a bowl of stewed prunes and ovaltine.
