Thanks...Done...Man, just when you think you have a handle on technology...
Technology has a handle? Who would have guessed?

It is a sign of the apocalypse!
What, me still being alive?
-
Yep, I'm till alive.
At my age it's sometimes hard to tell.
-
You're not dead are you?
Hell, I don't know. Let me check.
Nope. Got a pulse and my back itches where I can't reach it, got acid stomach and I need to brush my teeth.
I'll check again in the morning and let you know.

... that I didn't have anything, not even a sales flier, in my mail box. Must be over 40 years since that happened last.
Nothing earth-shaking about it but it is unusual.

Old age is creeping up on you if you remember when jeans came in only one length. All the kids had folded up cuffs. Your mother would yell at you if you let them drag on the ground.
Did your mother make you put a dime in your "penny" loafers in case you had to make an emergency phone call?
I remember the jeans... and iron-onpatches. Always wore western or engineer boots until I got to high school and wore military low quarter shoes or combat boots in ROTC and PH Fliers for gym.
I also remember "tan" Levis jeans and "jumper" jackets with light blue Levis shirts with snaps instead of buttons.
I can't ever remember not wearing a cowboy hat until high school ROTC either.

The Monza, the Vega, the Pinto, the Gremlin, the Dart and very junky Japanese imports.
Those were the days of the $250 car.
Gas shortages and intensifying environmental concerns and the largest luxury cars of all times.
Ford is re-introducing the Pinto, now to be named the Hindenburg.

Ninety in, what, 15 minutes, downhill?
About that... but it always started in central Illinois weather, even parked outside.

Can't find anything with any quality anymore.

Yes I know that, but I can't remember the last time I got a busy signal which is my point! I don't know anyone with a land line that doesn't have voice mail!
Mine doesn't. If you think it's important you'll call again.

Kinda reminds me of a VEGA
Largo
My Vega panel wagon was a pretty good car. Economical, reliable, fair load capacity, zero to sixty in just under five minutes, top speed of about ninety. I bought it used for $250.00.

Nope.
I'm just Tom or Forty depending on who's talking.

I grew up with arched and never handled a flat until six or seven years ago. Now flat is my choice because "it just feels right".

Fred Rogers
When my daughter went to Carnegie Mellon U. she had a part time job on Mr. Rogers' show for two or three years. Really padded out her resume.

Looks like an upgrade of an Air Force rig from about 1950.
Personally I need one about as much as I need mumps.
-
Harry Truman if that counts.
He was the only President of his party that I admired and I thought he did a good job considering how he was not "in the loop" when his predecessor died.
-
He is a great singer. Another you wouldn't suspect is Jim Nabors. He did an amazing version of the Impossible Dream.

That little girl is a keeper.
I may start carrying a cane

About six years ago my son-in-law gave me a genuine blackthorn walking cane that he picked up in Dublin. I never carried it until I got a kidney stone last year and now I never go anywhere without it. Mostly use it to help with my balance nowadays, 'specially on snowy icy days.
Just ordered two more cane this AM from a company back east. These are sufficient for my use, but are mostly decorative for when I'm in my docent costume at the Elks Opera House and Theater.
