For every item I read in a newspaper, I find I have an opinion and/or a comment. Most of my comments are short-----usually, I just say "Crap". There was an article in the local Gazette and Denver Post (I subscribe to both) that I have to comment on.
The article talked about a 95 year old mailman who has finally retired. This guy was a forklift operator who started with the Post Office in 1973 and did not miss a shift for 37 years!!! I am impressed!! He attributes this feat to a daily diet of watermelon, alkaline water and an onion sandwich with mayo. He NEVER took a sick day. If that doesn't impress you, nothing will.
He liked his job because "one, it's a steady income and, two, they don't hassle you. But he knew when to leave, saying: "The Bible says there's a time for everything. Well, it's time to retire, and that's it."
To this "young" fellow of 95 I say "Good for you my friend. "
