    I think a person is getting old if they start wondering how another person would be able to shoot down a drone, for no particular reason other than curiosity.

    I turned 70 in Jan. and nothing works as it should anymore.
    I look in the mirror and wonder who that is starring back at me. In my mind I’m still 30 but only in my mind. :D

    Yup. A lot has changed since then too. I remember a huge fireworks display over an open field, while the family was sitting on the hood of my Dad's Oldsmobile. That field is now all concrete and steel, with hundreds of stores. If you sat on the hood of a new car, the hood would be dented. The spirit and pride in America has also changed drastically, something I never imagined would happen as a young lad.

    When you learn that friends you haven't heard from recently......there is a reason.....and it's not what you think.
