Today is January 1


This is January 1.  Happy New Year!

Today marks the 50th anniversary of Fidel Castro’s triumphant entry into Havana to mark the completion of the Cuban Revolution.

It is also the 100th anniversary of the birth of Barry Goldwater in Phoenix, Arizona Territory.

I am noting these because nobody else seems to be and in our five-finger, two-hand, decimal-oriented society those are usually thought of as big numbers.

Those of us who are old enough can remember Castro being considered somewhat of a hero in this country and Goldwater a nutcase. Attitudes toward both have changed and likely will change again.

Just something to consider.
