THEN-- We used to catch a cold. NOW- A virus catches us. THEN- We never heard a siren in McHenry NOW-- We go to bed hearing one kind of blast and wake up with another kind piercing the air. THEN- We had to be driving down hill with a strong tail wind to get a car up to 55 miles per hour NOW- We have to touch the brakes occasionally to bring a modern car down to the nationwide 55 speed limit. THEN- Babe Ruth signed a contract that paid him $80,000 a year to play baseball for the Yankees and the sports world thought the figure would be tops for all time NOW-- The Babe's salary would be peanuts to less talented members of the so called "Millionaires' Gub".
