Not to pick nits, but the Boomer span is generally given as 1946-1964. This is been trumpeted as the year the first boomers turn 60.

Yeah, and I'll tell you, I *hate* that all those 60-year-old "boomers" get so much press. It's probably because they've been in charge for so damned long..<g>

The single biggest cohort in the "boomer" generation is which one do you think? Hm?

It's the median age of this group, by Duncan's survey.

Americans born between 1954 and 1958 are the biggest boomer cohort..but we don't get any recognition or respect from media. Why, think about it! Besides being mostly responsible for driving up the price of vintage bikes with our filthy lucre, we are also more responsible than any other group of people for chewing up the world's resources at such a furious rate. I could go on..but that would be off-topic.

We have had one hell of a party, though, haven't we?

Those of us who turn 50 this year are the *real* boomers..<g>
