Ed, great writing as usual. I thought I'd try AI to inquire of your age, as I guessed 64, and AI estimated age more than 55 to early 60s. It notes a few online articles such as CBC in 2018 that you started building models from drugstore kits (costing 2 dollars) in the early 60s!
All you had to do was ask. I turned 64 in the middle of May. If you find my academia.EDU profile you’ll see that the earliest credited writing I got was some book reviews in the Queen’s quarterly in the late 1980s.
I was testing AI and not impressed with their depth of research, but after it gave more on your early opposition to Muskrat, and other things, generally positive, but couldn't say your age but noted Clyde Wells was born in 1937 (so was my sister) and so a Depression era baby.
I'm more than surprised that I guessed correct at age 64, and figured I'd be off at last a year or two. I figures a bit older than late 50s to early 60s as to your dept of knowledge on your topics, and knowing you were behind (later than ) me at MUN and your military training era.
I have read that memory declines starting on average at 30 at a low rate, and at a higher rate at age 60, but that intelligence peaks at age 80 on average. Although most are perhaps most productive, perhaps in their 30 to 50 range, but I suppose, while losing some memory with age, there is a mountain of accumulated knowledge, if accessed, it gives high intelligence at an old age........unless like Trump, or people with various form of dementia setting in. Maybe that's why some cultures value the "elders" for their wisdom. It's long term accumulated knowledge of significant value, for those lucky enough to live long, as many don't see age 80.

Operation Septic Purée.
You should set up a consulting company and see if you’re gonna get a pentagon contract naming their many operations. That one’s brilliant.
Thank you!😀
