We went to Hot Springs Arkansas once and were upstairs in a historical gymnasium and it was hilarious how low everything was. Punching bags and rings and stuff that were about nose high and we were looking over the top of all of it. They said it was because everyone was so short back then. We take for granted all the advances in better nutrition and other things we just experienced in the 20th century. An unprecedented era in human history we don’t thank our lucky stars to have been born in enough.
