I am in Arizona but not desiccating. I volunteer, hike the mountains, paint beautiful women, and one or two useful things. Good stuff here in your world, too.
You are absolutely right, especially old women. At least an old man has the option of being distinguished, lol.
The accumulated hands on knowledge of this aging generation is exactly what we are going to need as we move into an uncertain future. I mean, how many people will know how to weld, or fix anything remotely mechanical, weave a basket or make wine from dandelions.
I'm concerned about that too. Having worked in the trades for the last 15+ years I see fewer men in the 18 to 35 range coming in and wanting to learn. Not sure if trades will be mandatory at some point. I know Germany has extensive and well thought of trade schools where a high percentage of high school grads migrate toward. Something needs to change.
Cool. 😎 Funny you should mention that. I sent a link of this to my friend Jerry, and he said I found my niche for writing screenplays - meaning a focus on older folks and their wisdom and capability. We talked last week about this and other things. A little serendipity. 🦄

Well, Rick, kudos to you. Glad you're out of the tanning bed and out painting beautiful women - that's what I like hearing. Cheers - 😎

I'm going to send this to my friend who writes scripts. GREAT points!
