One of the things I worried about with getting older is that is that my view of the world would ossify. That I would start to think that only whatever-I-grew-up-with was legitimate.

Instead, it feels like the opposite. My view is expanding while I see younger people's contract.

"Whirling disease is caused by Myxobolus cerebralis, a parasite that targets the bone structure of juvenile fish before their cartilage can ossify, or harden into bone...

Whirling disease took out 90 per cent of trout populations in Colorado during the 1990s."

I remember the shock of first reading Speaking of Jennings! (published 1973) when he was suddenly using decimal money and I realised that the books were not set in some ossified past, but in the year they were written (despite Jennings not aging).
