Notice the words "NOT GUILTY" on the lines all the way down the tie?

I thought it said "who's Guilty"

I think you got it wrong...or right in a different sense. Age does affect endurance. The older you get, the more endurance you have. The other day I was doing a service project with the scouts. We were putting in new topsoil and had to shovel it out of a truck into buckets and then haul the buckets to get dumped on location. Anyways, I was up shoveling into a bucket with a spry 16 year old. I out shoveled him because I knew how to conserve energy and maintain a steady pace. Try digging a hole with a teenager. You will notice they get tired faster. Why? because they don't know how to apply the energy they have.

Just got back from jury duty. Actually sat on a case about witness retaliation and harassment. The ADA that tried the case was completely incompetent; followed in close second was the Public Defender. Resulted in one of those "Not Guilty" verdicts (not innocent). The ADA did not prove several elements for both charges. Several jurors wondered which side the attorneys were on. Each seem to prove the other's case.

For those facing jury duty, I voiced a concern with the District Judge that the prospective jurors were addressed by name in front of the accused (and probably had more personal info on the resumes we filled out). Had we found him guilty, that puts the sitting jury members at risk. Also, during breaks during selection and the trial, we sat in the hall and found out the others sitting in the hallway among us were witnesses and other parties to the case. Not Good; although we didn't discuss the case, we talked incessantly about other things. The District Judge said he would look into it.

Things were certainly different since my first and only summons (forty years ago), during which I sat for 30 days without being selected.

My mother-in law and father-in-law are in their late 70s and run around like kids trying to make everyone feel guilty for not working hard enough. then a couple of years back they took two or three popular pain meds off the market. Suddenly the old folks were stove up so bad they could barely walk to the kitchen, taking naps. and avoiding my truck like the plague because it was too hard to climb into.

They were not frisky, they were just getting the good meds from their Mexican Dr.

At 60 I have already had my three surgeries for stress induced degenerative disk disease, two stress related heart attacks and I now have to deal with the blood preasure on a regular basis.

After the first heart attack, I looked at all the wires and tubes and little beeping boxes. Asked the nurse what one of them was. She told me it was the external pacemaker that was keeping me alive. I had crashed and my heart did not work on its own for three days.

I was dead! I had worked myself to death.

Fear not, It will not happen again!

No car, no house, no boat, no career, is worth your early death. And that is what 20 hour days will do to a 40-50 year old.

Never truer works have been spoken. I retired 4 years ago at age 62 and have never looked back.

FWIW Retirement is everything it is cracked up to be.

I think it all goes back to balance. I was swinging a pick ax yesterday in the Atlanta heat. I paced myself, drank plenty of water and did this for many hours.

Later a young project manager came onsight and decided to sling the pick. He started out swinging like there was no tomm., and soon tuckered out. He is in very good shape, much better than I am. He is younger, plays full court basketball, does alot more pushups than I, yet this kicked his butt. I could have done it all day.

The answer to age is balance. You don't have to be in super duper shape, just in good enough shape with the knowledge to pace and when to push it and stop for a minute.

Ahhh....Grasshopper.

You explained it better than I did FVR.

All true. I'd still rather be 18, though.
Not a popular thing to admit, what with age comes wisdom, etc, etc, but there I said it.

What I liked about being 18 is the pure unadulterated certainty that I could do anything. The innocence of not knowing or caring to find out. Sometimes I just don't want to know all I know. I crave blissful ignorance.
