So far, I don't use it. I guess at my age I don't follow fashion and trends and all the rest of it.

Well, somebody has to pay for all the wars in this world and those about to start. War machines don't come cheap!

Where I live (Central Canada) we have huge homes. We call them MacMansions or "Monster Homes."

I don't like old folks complaining about them dying. We all will die. Most of my friends are now dead. The smokers all died in their 50s. I am 79.5 today and really enjoying my life. Going cruising for 28 nights in December and January. Life is good and life is mostly what you make it...

I read a lot of books and try to stay away from social media. Looking at this site once in a while is my only "waste" of time.

So glad I did my back packing and travel when I was younger. For example, I have visited Poland 8 times and the USSR 4 times. Now, I don't want to go to Europe and have to pay some sort of tax to enter a city or get sprayed by water pistols in cities like Barcelona. Best to stay in Canada...
