I find myself catching yet another flight. Where to, or where from doesn't really matter. I look around me, and the plane is full of young people like me, going through the whole flight routine as they've done it 1000 times. Probably they did.
A generation on the move. Its not the first time people are moving. But this time it doesn't feel like we are going anywhere...
Generation X is already middle-aged, Genaration Y got their kids at pre-school. We are Generation T

The friction between the young and old exists for ages. The joint family concept had the elders putting the flame off now and then. The younger generation of these days had to meekly submit to the advice of the elders and worked themselves up to success.
This kind of generation gap happens more when the children grow up and the son gets married. Nowadays the parenting concept accepts only parents and not the grandparents. The competitive world makes the parents concentrate more on their children who have to mould their career and settle in life rather than spend time for their old parents who are becoming more and more dependent on their children as they grow older.
The old parents being alive are considered to be a burden. The son is more enthusiastic about giving the best to his children and wants them to compete with their peers. He does not want to lose control over them and certainly feels that there should be a set pattern in bringing up his children.
Has the new generation gap, which is emerging now, taken a turn to disregard the elders? Or should the older persons step down and adjust to the new developments?

Ride it and you will know what it feels like.

July 27, 2021: Bronze sculpture "Three Generations" in front of the Goebel Adult Community Center in Thousand Oaks. The 1992 Norman Rockwell-style sculpture by Ann LaRose sits in deep shade underneath a couple of trees. The heavily backlit location makes photographing the sculpture a challenge. To get this image, I took advantage of this morning's heavy cloud clover and the Pro Camera app's HDR function to get this iPhone capture. I like this sculpture, but not the green bird waste. Time for cleaning!
I'm taking plenty of gouache stuff with me.....this sort of family craziness is great for painting. 8" x 6" gouache/my old show invitations.

Week 36
According to Wikipedia, generations, or social generations, "are cohorts of people who were born in the same date range and share similar cultural experiences." In the Western World, probably the oldest known social generation with a name was the Lost Generation describing those who were born between 1883 and 1900 who lived through World War I. The most famous generation of our time is probably the Baby Boomers Generation, which spans 1946 up to 1964 describing those who were born during the baby boom years after World War II. After the Baby Boomers, generation names become a little lame as they go by X, Y, and Z as in Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z (lol... I feel really bad for those who would be born after Generation Z because there are no more letters of the alphabets left).
Generation Z is the current generation and is the generation that Evelyn is born into. Like I said, I think this name is lame and I don't like it. I think a better name for Evelyn's generation and those who are being born around this time should be called the "Smart Generation;" the word "smart" here stands for smart devices like in smart phones, smart tablets, etc... Evelyn is going to grow up not knowing what a rotary phone is; she's not going to know what a land line is; and she's not going to know why a "ringtone" is so named when most phones don't even ring. The only reason that she's going to know that a computer has a keyboard and a monitor is because she's going to see her daddy's old dinosaur. ;)
Evelyn's been exposed to smart devices at such a young age that they are going to be second nature to her. These devices would probably impact Evelyn's generation more than any other generations before her. At only 8 months old, Evelyn already knows to swipe her fingers at an iPad to move the images, and she's already posted her first Facebook message using her mommy's iPhone. Evelyn's generation should be called the Smart (Devices) Generation.
A pair of young, millennials watch with great curiosity as the crew of Great Western Locomotive #90 performs some switching moves at Groff's Grove on the Pennsylvania's Strasburg Rail Road in November of 2011. Although this photo was captured just before smart phones and other personal electronics became pervasive in our society, the two young women pictured here had still likely grown up amidst a sea of technology and a quality of life that was never even envisioned by the generation that built the big decapod back in 1924. As ancient as this massive machine may seem to them, the truth is that this was the technology that made possible all that we have today. Steam locomotives were the first machines built by humans that could move, at will, under their own power. They greatly expanded the ability of humans to travel, and they facilitated the industrial revolution that brought us all of the technology we have today. Hopefully, these two young women can appreciate that the fire-breathing monster before them is largely responsible for the virtually every piece of technology that we all take for granted today.
This image was captured during November of 2011, when the Strasburg Rail Road's regular excursions were operating only between East Strasburg and Groff's Grove, because a construction crew was in the process of completely replacing the only bridge on the railroad, just about half a mile to the east of the siding there.

High pressure turbine on the right,the large silver pipes carry superheated steam, meet in the middle then pas over the turbine. On the left are the governor valves, which control the amount of steam entering the Turbine and prevent overspeeding. The Turbine will be turning at 3000 RPM.
