...in addition, at least in the eyes of the kids in the neighborhood, we are also 'old'. Most of us probably don't think of ourselves that way, but sadly that is probably the way we are perceived.

And I said I wasnt going to let that happen to me....

Looking forward to the blog read.

I remind my young bride (only 65) that I am only 72 (and 1/2).

I am young.
I am strong.
And I am only slightly delusional.

That reminds me, when I was passing out candy on Halloween, one of the kids asked "Are you the guy who used to fly rockets for us?" That was during the pandemic. They used to walk around the field sniffing the expended motor casings.

For 2112 it must be a Canaroc or a Black Brant.

Obviously.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !

Ooh, that's a good point. Might be a job for the Canaroc Green Hornet, but I also have a half-built Starfighter Scorpion that I could go overdrive on between now and the weekend.
