My sourdough starter is older than my nephew now...

I just checked my notes and my starter, 'Bubbles', is exactly 1,825 days old, which is five years to the day. I honestly never thought I'd keep a jar of flour and water alive longer than a houseplant... it's outlasted three apartments. Has anyone else hit a weirdly specific baking milestone that made you laugh?

A buddy of mine realized his starter was the same age as his car loan. He named it 'Interest' and joked about which one was a better investment. The starter survived a cross-country move in a cooler, while the car needed a new transmission. He still bakes with it every week.

My starter's older than my last three cars, honestly.
