I remember going through the phase where I became older than the police, doctors and priests.

Now I know I am getting old(er) as the current round of these folks could easily be my grandchildren!!!!

The cops look like kids and the Buicks don't look like Buicks.

Three years ago we stayed in a timeshare in Escondido named "The Lawrence Welk Resort."

Back in the 50's (the good old days) I could identify any car from a half mile away by year and make. Now, up close, I couldn't tell you whether it is a Ford or Toyota as they all look alike.

Sure sign of getting old:

When discussions about knee replacements and cataract surgery become interesting.

I could always identify a Crown Vic or Satellite at night through my rear view mirror. I never got a speeding ticket, ever. Today it's more of a challenge, but I'm learning, still no ticket. Cops 0, Rick 1
