I see free mattresses by the sides of the road pretty often around here. Sometimes I really hate people.

I am retired. I wouldn't move away from my friends. Sadly I live about 1.5 hours from any of them, but in 3 different directions. So it's even. I wish they would move closer to me.

But a drug for which nobody knows the name.

Congratulations! When I was reading your first entry above I was thinking "I thought he was already retired!" So you did manage it a year younger than me. 56 is just my minimum retirement age so it's only early compared to most federal employees I know who spend too much money to do it.

"Paranoid," Black Sabbath.

I ride motorcycles. I don't care how safe cars are.

I wish you people would stop using the abbreviation ED for erectile disfunction.

Yours,

That last bit is reassuring.

Yay! It's good to hear from you, I was worried. I thought you were still down there east of Eugene where one of the big fires was. I'm doing adequately as usual. Sold some timber to pay for a new road to Weyerhauser property so I can have logs hauled out that way rather than over my driveway bridge....

"...so much wasted life."

You certainly have that right. Glad I'm done.

I'll try to keep that in mind.

I hope you get better and out of there soon.

Hunter S. Thompson, "Hells Angels" right? I have a 650 Bonneville the same year as his Lightening, I wish we could race.

Sclass, you can find more family. And it sounds like you should. They won't be related to you physically but they will be your true family. I'm sorry for what happened to you.

I haven't really given this much thought though dementia does run in my family. I think it's interesting that most of the new friends I've made in the past couple of years are Millennials. I don't seem to meet people my own age.

Until I read what you wrote I don't think I ever imagined such a thing was possible. I do have to say that my intellectual focus was never on my career, it was never tha...

I don't drive a hundred miles per day for my commute anymore. But that was pretty stupid anyway. I'm pretty sure that my Costco 5% cash back rewards for buying gas won't pay for my Costco membership anymore. But they used to.
