One of the things that I loved to do as a boy was to go through the history books in the stacks at the High School library. In particular, they had these illustrated books that went decades by decade and helps pictures and stories about what it was like to live there at that time. There was a book on the 1920’s. There was another on the 1950’s and so on and so forth. Of course there were many history books that I just loved, but these were special because of the great pictures and easy reading captions.
This article is of a similar nature using movies from the past. I do hope that you all will enjoy it. It’s a trip down familiar places with unfamiliar people separated by generational experiences. These movies come to life using (Chinese) AI technology, and are wonderful. I do hope that you are as enthralled by them as I.

Conclusion
It’s a nice “rainy day” article. I hope that these videos remind you of how unique this time is, and how wonderful it is to enjoy it. Stop thinking that one of these days… something will happen. The time is now. So go forth, make some special treats for your cats. Put on a nice outfit and go out with a friend. Call your parents or your grandparents. Treat yourself to a nice cup of coffee and a pie at the local diner. Ride a bicycle.
Make your time special.
It will be gone soon enough. But you are here now. This is YOUR time. Enjoy it and share that enjoyment with others it’s ok. Just do it.

I liked this article. Poignant and slightly wistful. An overview of how life is, regardless of the time period.
Generally people don’t realize life passes by in all circumstances whatever they do with it. How one makes good use of the time you are allotted is important because that time is precious. And if time is precious, it should be used somewhat for your personal happiness and also more importantly as a Rufus. At the end of the day, only kindness matters.
Oh yes. The feeling of nostalgia is always nice. But I think the 80s were the best I wasn’t around but from the movies I watch and the MUSIC.It was a funky time.
Feel free to correct me if am wrong.
I wish I could say more on some things but lets wait and see
The 80s music scene was da bomb. It was my era and I can’t find enough words to say how it resonate with me.
Did you know that it was the 80s that set the foundation for all the fund raising benefit concerts that we take for granted today. 13 July 1985 Live Aid, the day rock and roll changed the world.
If there was one, just one performance that will knock your socks off, watch Freddie Mercury & Queen at Live Aid.
