Feeling Old

I had a moment today....driving on the 405 to work. I look over and there is this 1970's VW Beetle. I have such fond memories of our pastor's daughter having a car like that. No air conditioning. I don't even recall it having heat. It was red...kind of rusty and beat up but reliable. Nancy would babysit me some times and we'd ride around in that car. Those were great times.

So, this morning....I see a Beetle. Fond memories begin to surface and then BAM! THIS CAR HAS HISTORICAL PLATES ON IT! Oh wow do I feel old. According to the California DMV's website, you can only have historical plates on a car that was manufactured after 1922 and is at least 25 years old. 25 YEARS OLD!!!!

There was about a 3 miles stretch of the freeway this morning where I don't even recall driving. I was just stuck in this warp of how old I actually am. I am HISTORICAL....and yes, maybe hysterical too ;)
