today i had lunch with my aunt and uncle. they live in her grandfather's house (my great grand-father). he was born in 1900, and built the house in 1937. when he was 12 years old he used to ride a wagon pulled by horses to huntsville, AL (60 miles away) and sell things for other things. it was a 2 day trip. being born in 1900 meant that whatever year it was, that's how old he was. he died in 2000.
