the associated press reports that "moses hardy, believed to be the second-oldest man in the world and the last black u.s. veteran of world war i, has died at age 113..."
moses was born in 1893; to place this feat of longevity into historical perspective, consider that president rutherford b. hayes and russian composer tchaikovsky were both still alive when he entered the world.
a regimen of broccoli sprouts, co-q 10 and strolls around the block might add a few years to a person's life. individuals like moses hardy are genetically blueprinted to live a long, long fucking time.
he died of natural causes.
a 100-year-old, newly inducted centenarian has lived to experience 36,500 days. supercentenarians, the name ascribed to those who attain 110 or more years, watch history unfold for 40,150 spin cycles.
mr. hardy exceeded that benchmark by more than a thousand.
less than a dozen american world war one veterans, each living legends in their own right, are still alive.
