Teh stupid

Yesterday I described the Snow Kids as gen-exers. Well, I'm sure you all saw the problem with that but were too kind to point out my error. They can't be gen-exers, they are far too young, being 21 (almost 22!) and 23 years old, respectively.

Gen-exers, according to the interwebz, are a generational cohort born between 1960 and 1984. That's the widest date spread I could find; the "experts" each have different date ranges of course, but they all seem to fall into that 24 year period.

One of the amusing things about my gaffe is that the older gen-exers are very nearly as old as I, and I are a baby-boomer (though just barely), a member of the most worthless generation of all time. Just repeating what the media says!

I proved fitness for inclusion in a worthless cohort by making a snap assumption -- that I must know what i'm talking about -- and then not checking the pesky facts. Pure baby-boomer knowitallism. To be gen-exers the kids would have to be between 36 and 60. Which they aren't. Not even their parents are that old!

So what are the Snow Kids then? Millennials? Not quite. Millennials, also known as Generation Y, were born between 1981 and 1996. The Snow Kids were born in 1997 and 1998.

They actually belong to Generation Z, in on the ground floor of a generational cohort beginning in 1997 and presumably ending any moment now, to be followed by a new generation possibly called Alpha. So yeah, Generation Zed.



Sorry. I'm old and I couldn't help myself. Although in my defense MIB is a 1997 film. So I'm not completely brane dead. That I'm aware of.

Rather an interesting day today, but interesting stuff not well suited to a blog. And probably not very interesting to to anyone other than myself anyway.

Rub-a-dub-dub, three hens in a tub. Because chickens.

The weather was much more clement today than yesterday. Mostly sunny but still pretty cool and with a pesky and frigid north wind. Pretty much like February is supposed to be around here.



The weather guessers propose that tomorrow will be a repeat (kinda) of today. Friday might be very nice, and Saturday as well. Then another weather front is expected to bring cold and snow on Sunday, which is always the way you want March to begin.



And now it's rapidly approaching past my bedtime, so I'll post this one on up and call it a day.

Be well and embrace the blessings of liberty.
