    I'm not old enough yet. But I'm closer to my "My Golden Buckeye" card. $.10 coffee at Burger King. Free to judge anyone younger, and allowed to say "when I was your age"

    None of the screeching about equality these days has anything to do with equality.

    Something I've had to try to hammer into my daughter's young adult skull a few times recently.

    May not be popular opinion but men and women have had equality in society for quite some time IMO.

    My wife’s uncle is in the dump truck business and his dad was in it before him down in Miami.The uncle grew the business more than his did ever could but the circumstances were different since his father came from Cuba with nothing but the clothes he had on.He was talking to my wife the other day and mentioned that he sold 5 of 9 dump trucks because the rates have gone down so much that it’s not worth the headache of having drivers in them.My wife’s father was in the business years ago and gave up driving when the rates first went to crap in the late 90’s and early 200’s and started selling used Mack DM’s and RD’s to Panamanians because according to them were the only trucks you could load completely and rag the hell out of and they wouldn’t even flinch.So dump trucking in Florida sucks.
    I went to Homestead High in Florida City and even worked at the Homestead speedway during high school.My Father owned a small ranch not to far from there in Redland so I knew the area well but from what I heard that area has changed completely from swamps bordering Homestead High and some of the worst neighborhoods that Miami Dade County had to nice apartment buildings and Townhomes.

    You're making a sound decision imo. Any flu bug hits the elderly hard, the Wuhan flu even more so.
