I'll be 50 at the end of this year. Nice round figure that I like to think of as the half way mark, but I might be being optimistic!

Re: Holy Toledo
Why not? You should soon have enough to work out a pretty accurate average for the site. No over 60s I noticed, so far, or under 18s.

Actually this is a good age to be except that time is just rocketing by. We had mandatory retirement at age 60 and that just seems like yesterday. I read somewhere that a person's perceived life time is half over at age 21 and I think that there is something to that.
​
I know the feeling, GDR. If you're on a rocket, some of us are already on the jet plane.
​
I don't think the reason for this is biological, but that it's relativity. A year seems endless at age ten, because it's a tenth of your life, but at age sixty it's a mere sixtieth.
​
Make sure you enjoy that retirement as it speeds by, anyway.

I always thought that the paleontologists might have got it wrong, but I didn't know they were that far out.

No over 70s yet. (Come on oldies, tell us about your great grandchildren).
