Ah, the crack of the .22 calber rifle an hour or two after sunset. You know some crafty senior is getting the jump on deer season and filling the freezer with another retirement deer. Today's seniors are more self reliant than ever. Even if a fixed or no income limits your options for golf and winters in Florida, the modern oldster can still mantain a gracious lifestyle. That feeling of independence you get butchering a deer and drinking whiskey out in your shed by lantern light is something money can't buy. For the things money must buy, like lantern gas and whiskey there is always a cash crop. More than one local senior is taking advantage of the ridiculously inflated weed market.
So as the sunsets and the golden glow of our golden years approaches, don't look forward with dread. Look forward with your chin set and your eyes clear. Consider wistfully your misspent youth. Say to yourself , "The hell, this ain't too bad."
I gotta have the Eubie Blake card to fill in my jazz all star quintet. What will you take? An Andy Rooney rookie card? An Alex Calder hanging by one hand on one of his mobiles? I'd even part with my favorite Al Einstein, with just a small dog ear.
