It's Only Three Decades

My mother sent me a nice note this morning counting down the minutes until I would "officially" be 30. Because I was born in the Philippines, my birthday occurred 12 hours ahead on the East Coast (which is why my grandmother always thought I was born on March 12th). So at 11:51 this morning, I officially began my 4th decade. The card I got from my co-workers put this a little more into perspective.

Thirty.
When you think about it, it's only three decades.

Three Decades
Seven Presidents (or presidential terms)
Eight Olympic Games
28 Volcanic Eruptions
87 Space Missions
203 Overthrown Governments
1,712 Ocsar Nominations
420,000 New Miles of Highway
AND
51 million acres of cleared rainforest

Now, I cannot confirm that some of these numbers are actually true, but the card said so, so I believe it!
