Let there be light!!

Last Tuesday morning...Oct 13...I went to the beach at 0615. There was a Spacex launch from Cape Canaveral at 0633. I was amazed at the number of people standing on the beach in total darkness. We were rewarded with the gorgeous sight of the rocket streaking across the predawn sky. I took multiple pictures. That got me thinking...I wonder what my parents and grandparents would think about the time I live in??

My grandmother lived at a time when electricity in your home was relatively new.

"1906: Consolidated Gas Company merged with electric utilities to form the Consolidated Gas Electric Light and Power Company of Baltimore (the predecessor to BGE), signaling that most homes and businesses were actively shifting toward electricity over gas."

Wow!! Electricity!!! My mom was born in 1904.....So my grandmother probably thought she lived in age of miracles!
