First Sentence

When my father was born, Queen Victoria was on the throne; the law of the land required a mechanically propelled vehicle to have a man walking in front with a red flag; powered flight was still a dream; the Yukon Trail was known to only a few men; and later feats such as the moon walk and sending probes to visit Halley's comet were mere fantasy.
