Age and Time on the Mississippi

I was reading articles about the solar eclipse, and one said that there would be another eclipse in Montana and the Dakotas in 2044. And then I wondered, what if instead of measuring time compared to the number of times required to revolve around the sun, what if I measured time compared to the amount of times I could flow down the Mississippi river?

According to the National Park Service, the Mississippi river flows at about 1.2 miles per hour, and is about 2,340 miles long.

2,340 miles times (1hour/ 1.2 miles) =  1,950 hours. So a water molecule, if it traveled at a constant speed and never left the river, would take about 1,950 hours to travel the entire length of the river.

I turn 33 years old next month. 24hours * 365 days *33 years= 289,080 hours so far in my lifetime.

289,080/ 1,950 is about 145.5, so I will be about 145 Mississippi’s next month!

Edit: I fixed a typo.

Edit: (10/2/2024) The number of hours in my lifetime so far was incorrect. Apologies for any confusion!
