Who was the oldest person you ever knew??

My paternal grandmother was just a month short of her 100th birthday and my ex's grandmother was 102 when she passed.

My Pop just turned a ripe old 96 and we're pushing him to beat grandma's record.

Aw hell, it's amazing to think of all of the changes since I've been born. Some change I can embrace wholeheartedly and other stuff not so much. But it's what hasn't changed that annoys me most.

Time marches on whether we like it or not.

Just read a news story from West Kentucky, where I grew up, about the original and still somewhat active owner of the drive in movie near my hometown - one of the oldest still active in the US - turned 110 today.

Good Lord! That is ancient! I worked drive ins as a projection tech. It’s a hard job. Harder than walk-ins because folks bring their cars and all the wierd destructive stuff they carry around, like hammers and guns and swords! Then they get drunk and destroy the property!!
