cue time-warp waviness

Inga and I are watching The 39 Steps on TCM. I keep being tickled (see the old-timey language!) by the dialogue and props, and Inga just looked at me and said, "I don't know if you've noticed, but this is kind of an old movie." And then we did the math -- it was made 71 years ago! Holy Frijoles.

Among the best reminders of where we're at today:

1. "How far is it?"/ "About 40 miles."/ "How long will it take to get there?"/ "About 2 hours."

2. Inga: "God, I'm so glad vaudeville's not our only form of entertainment." Word.
