18. I'm a year older than President Biden. He can run circles around me.

and I'm fairly spry.

People in their 30's or 40's look at "almost 80" and think if they are making noises getting up off the floor, starting to get arms too short to read, can remember why they went in a room .... then 78 is just this side of disabled. They'll find out with good self care and medical care, the process slows down in the 60's for a lot of people.

78 has it's issues for sure, but if someone's genetics and good habits will push them to 90's then someone might have another 20 years to contribute.

Gotta remember GHWB was still jumping solo at 80 and tandem at 90.


Oh and the so call "liberal media" can bite all my stinky places. The idea they push a liberal agenda is flat laughable. We GOT Trump because of the media fawning all over him in 2014 / 2015. No other Republicans could get any traction because the buffoon was pulling in ratings.
