Watch out for those Cigars Tom.
 
Red Auerbach died and maybe he would have lived to be 90 if he had not
smoked all those nasty rolls of Tobacco.

My maternal Grandfather/Great Grandfather and paternal Grandfather
lived to be 103 and 101 respectively.

I'm planning on breaking that record. :)

When my parents took our boat to the Vineyard back in the 1960s, there was
this old guy who docked his small boat at the marina (in Vineyard Haven).
The boat had about 4 inches of freeboard. I don't know what the bottom shape
was, but the thing rolled any time someone on the dock sneezed. The guy
looked like he was 200 years old. He always had a 4 day beard - not sure how
he did that consistently from day to day. He went out in weather that would
scare submarine captains. He always came back with fish, and when kids would
ask how he was catching them, he'd cackle in some unintelligible language.

I see your future. :-)

Crusty Old Salt or just crusty?

Well....where would you be without "old salt" as part of the title?

You wish.


No, I don't. But it is a very good possibility.

"What the hell's the deal with this newsgroup...
is there a computer terminal in the day room of
some looney bin somewhere?"

Bilgeman - circa 2004


I hope you do.

Getting up on my soapbox If you continue to smoke and if you continue to
refuse to get a colonoscopy the odds of reaching even age 80 are slim.
Stepping off my soapbox

BTW: The US Marine you spoke with via email last year has returned from
Iraq alive and well. He is now in NC adjusting to being home on US soil.

Sez you.



Nope, sez the statistics.;-)

Very good - most excellent.


Indeed! We will be seeing him sometime this month.
