The guy flying the 3 kites is Ray Bethell. He is in his 80s and he's from Canada. He comes to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year. His skin is like leather as he normally flies with his shirt off. He is deaf, so when he flies, people hold their hands up and wave them for applause. He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one is attached to his waist.

 
This old man is 104 years old. Han han. 104 years old. He is much more handsome and well-dressed than some young men. He is perfect ! Fashionista.

Cool Old Guy

"Anyway, I'm not a cliché,
I hardly own any ties.
I may be old but at least I'm not
like all those other old guys."
