Oh, that was priceless. Ironic definitely. Although I found it bittersweet. A relative of mine, born in the 1880s and passed in the 1960s, said the development of the automobile was the biggest surprise of his lifetime. After that, technological advancements weren't surprising. His family survived the 1918-1920 pandemic by ignoring the "expert" advice of the time, including starving a fever. His wife kept a pot of soup on the stove for those ill, and their home became a successful mini-hospital for family and friends.
