Age - Open discussion

I haven't received anything from AARP yet (I guess they're waiting for me to get a job to retire from), but last month I got a piece of mail that started, "Dear Senior Citizen."

I got offered the senior citizen discount at a store the other day - must be I'm getting grayer than I think.

In 1995 my grandmother, then 89, got a recruiting letter from the US Air Force. Correct name, address, and all. She was a little surprised, but pointed out, "They say here I've got a great future in the Air Force! I didn't think at my age I had that much of a future ahead of me - maybe I should sign up!"

I thought he taught Abe Davis. :smt102

Have to say the same. Seen FW do it several times taking tanks (both) up the hill and then go back down and get his deco tanks before another diver could even make it up once. Just think of him and use it as a reason to be like FW or I wonder if the the Energizer bunny was based off him and ihs life? makes you go HMMMMMMMMMMMm about that now dont hit.

What's a boat?

Either that or a kayak. Otherwise I hear they're terrible things to stay away from at all costs!
