When he passed over at the age of 83, he was still a barber 3 days a week, went fishin and had a huge garden that he kept with no help from anyone else. If he hadn't been killed in a car wreck, there's no tellin how long he would have been around. Since I consider him a wise and decent, caring man, I will take his advice and enjoy the days I have without worrying about the threats out there. I look forward, as Bob Dean said, to the passing over to a very special place in the stars.

I like his outlook on life. I eat too much bad stuff but I hopefully still have enough time to change my habits. Then again, I love bacon.
