Well, I'll be 73 then, so I'll either be in an alternative world with David Bowie/misfit people or in Ethiopia because I won't be in the U.S.

Seven of 10 Asians in the United States, ages 5 and up, speak English proficiently, the study said. U.S.-born Asian Americans are more likely to speak English well than foreign-born Asians.
Stephanie Wong is chapter and membership associate with OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates.
She said the information from the Census Bureau is somewhat misleading because it puts Asian Americans from many different backgrounds into one group.
“The Asian American population is very diverse,” Wong said. She suspects some Asian Americans do not receive public or private assistance because of the mistaken belief all Asian Americans are doing well economically.
To point out the diverse economic backgrounds of Asian Americans, the Pew Research Center looked at income levels for people from different Asian countries.
In 2015, it said that Indian American households had a median income of $100,000, the highest among Asian Americans. For Filipino-Americans, the median household income was $80,000.
But the Pew report said eight of the 19 Asian groups it examined had higher poverty rates than the U.S. average. They included the Hmong, Bhutanese and Burmese.
Twenty-one million and growing
The Asian American population now stands just short of 21 million people, the Census Bureau reported. That represents just over 6 percent of the American population.
In a recent report, the Pew Research Center said Asian Americans likely will become the largest immigrant group in the United States.
In 50 years, Asians should make up 38 percent of all U.S. immigrants, overtaking the current largest immigrant group, Hispanics, the Pew Center said.
William Frey researches urban populations, immigration and other issues for the Brookings Institution, a research center based in Washington D.C. He said immigration policies that support educated immigrants are likely to help Asians.
But he said changes in American immigration policy could affect immigration from Asia, as well as other parts of the world.
President Donald Trump and some Republicans in Congress have proposed a bill calling on America to reduce the number of legal immigrants admitted into the U.S. each year. They also want to give a preference to well-educated immigrants and/or those with job offers.
Asian Americans come from 20 nations
Asian American people come from more than 20 countries in East and Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Each has its own history, language and culture.
Some of the biggest growth came from Bhutan, Nepal and Burma, the Pew center reported.
But China continues to be the largest country of origin for Asian Americans. Chinese Americans numbered 4.9 million in 2015, or 24 percent of Asian Americans, Pew reported.
Pew said that India is number two, with nearly 4 million people listing it as their country of origin. The other leading countries of origin for Asian Americans are the Philippines, 3.9 million; Vietnam, nearly 2 million; Korea, 1.8 million; Japan, 1.4 million; and Pakistan, 519,000.
