I'm the same way. But if we don't worry, where does the motivation to plan & prepare come from? You & I are ants in a world full of grasshoppers.

I recall when C-SPAN first installed cameras in Congress to televise proceedings. They used to pan the gallery, which basically showed that whoever was speaking was being very passionate to an empty room. In short order, the cameras were required to remain fixed on the orator. Buncha scummy...

I've got no problem asking folks if I can scootch by. Heck, I help strangers reach stuff on the top shelf all the time (some on scooters, others are just short.) I've not run into folks who have been impatient with each other, either here in my county or in the "City" of Charlottesville or in...

I've been to state parks but no national parks.

Where did you live? I was in Vienna for over 45 years. We moved there right after the Beltway opened, before Tysons Corner mall was built, etc etc etc.

When I had gastric issues for nearly 6 weeks I was eating light, and now I don't really have a tolerance for large meals. I got that way when I went meatless for a period of time in my 30s...I found a way to be satiated without being bloated. That's why I made shrimp last night. The previous...

He's had (has?) drug issues. Claimed he was on his way to an AA meeting but some "workout performance drug" kicked in and he changed his mind. It's a rough way to live when you hit your 60s. (That photo is from 2002.) He's currently 85.

I agree, but in the past our connection came from neighbors and socializing with classmates. "Shopping" was a chore, not an activity. And few of us ate out when I was a kid...at least for us, I bet it was less than an annual thing. I agree that I get out of the house sometimes and dine out...

Our shotguns are used for New Year's Eve.
