>back in 1900 they probably didn't think in decades

Gottfried,

Yeah. I was thinking that same thing myself [in the back of my mind], but I'm glad you mentioned it first!

Now I don't feel quite so "guilty" for having assumed a somewhat distorted [relatively speaking] "limited time-frame outlook" by our ancestors.

They probably did think more in terms of weeks, months and years...not decades...and for good reason. Plus, they surely had more important things to worry about!
