People magazine came out with their January cover yesterday.
" Betty White turns 100". Their fault.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

So f-ing weird, I was driving down the road with my spouse, son and daughter and we were talking how Betty White was turning a hundred and that she starred in a sitcom that ran for 9 seasons before either of them were born and how our now deceased Bichon Frisse looked a bit like her in her dotage, and the whole thing with Ryan Reynolds and her ability (and his) for self deprecating humour, when my other daughter's text comes up on the apple carplay and says 'Betty White is dead at 99'.
Did we manifest that?

99 years is remarkable in and of itself.

She was a down to Earth angel. She will be missed. What a legend.

Richard Leakey has died:

Fossil hunter Richard Leakey who showed humans evolved in Africa dies at 77

Kenyan conservationist found oldest near-complete human skeleton in 1984, dating from 1.5m years ago

www.theguardian.com

My granddad subscribed to National Geographic when I was a kid and let me read his copies of that magazine, most of the bits I found most fascinating were about some ancient hominid found in remotest Africa somewhere. Leakey or his team found many of them.

RIP
