Old Timers

There are some benefits to growing older besides
avoiding the obvious alternative of not growing
older. For one thing we proved that we were wrong
when we were 18 and thought we knew it all. So
you 18 year old folks remember that the next time
you think you know more than your parents. The
time will come if you live long enough that you will
know better.

Old folks have seen a lot of stuff in their lifetime
and know what to worry about and what not to
worry about. When I was younger I didn't worry
too much about being attacked because I could
handle myself pretty good. Now that I am older
and not quite as physically able I still don't worry
about being attacked. I am good friends with
Smith&Wesson 38cal. Same result as when I
was younger just a lot less work. We old folks
are always looking for less work. So don't make
the mistake of thinking an old person is
defenseless.

One thing that I enjoy, being a more mature
individual is just sitting back and watching people
do their thing. I can usually tell how things will turn
out if they keep doing what they are doing because
I have seen it before. Some folks don't know that
if you keep doing the same thing over and over that
you will get the same result each time. But as they
grow older they will do that less and less and
finally realize that there is another way.

Well that's all for today. I was tired of politics
so I just wrote some random thoughts that was
floating around inside my oversized.. oops I mean
my old brain. Socratease8
