Today Will Become Tomorrow
By Dal Houston
I am often amazed by the speed of changes in our technology and our lifestyle. I struggle to get my head around something new, only to find out it is now old. Here is the thing to keep in mind; what is new today, will be old tomorrow.
Recently, I came across a picture of a farm auction from the mid-1940s, and in looking at it, the picture might as well have been from the Dark Ages. It depicted the vehicles the auction-goers drove, the machinery being sold, the people attending the auction, and so many other things indicative of the times.
Obviously, everything shown in the picture is now an antique. The thing that grabbed my attention was the irony that at the time the picture was taken, the technology and the developments of man were at their very highest. World War II was over, atomic weapons had been created and so many other technologies, developments and other things existed that were beyond our wildest thoughts just a few years earlier.

I was thumbing through the Netflix channels when, there it was, the great western television series, “Lonesome Dove.” I eagerly watched, for the 10th time, when five minutes into the episode, there was a scene where Newt, PeaEye and Dish were playing a knife game called Mumblety-peg. I had completely forgotten about the game of Mumblety-peg.
Mumblety-peg can be a dangerous game if you choose to play it that way. One brainless way is to see how close you can throw your knife to your feet without slicing your toes. Newt, PeaEye and Dish were playing the game safely by staying away from their toes.
