Age is just a number and the higher that number the worse things are going to get, physically and mentally.
Poor old dude.
Spandex racing shorts might’ve been too tight.
Good thing he was wearing a helmet.
Maybe he saw a hottie just left, off the starting ramp, and took an intended detour to chat her up.
“Gladys, cantcha see I’m fallin for ya?”
“Hep me find my dentures, Sonny.”
You go, Pops. Bravo.
Dang. I was rooting for the guy too.
He’s perfect to join the rest of the democrats in their quixotic quest from the Presidential nomination!
He’s too young.
Any 89 year old still riding a bike is simply a freak of nature.
Not much different from a two headed calf.
Most of us are dealing with the reality of aging.
I remember a commercial: “you’re not getting older, you’re getting better.”
Bullshit!
Apparently the human body is not the only thing that doesn’t age well. Western Culture has an aging problem too.
Diversity was aggressively marketed as variety, but once variety got a firm foothold, diversity became the means to end white tradition, culture and faith and replace it with a volatile and violent multiculturalism regardless the price to community or tradition.

Thanks to leftards from degenerate infested Atlanta relocating to Clarkston and gaining control of local government, the anti-American US government has cycled 40 thousand third world refuges thru tiny rural Clarkston Georgia. What once was a quiet little country town of a little over 4,000 people has now grown into a violent crime ridden third world shithole of nearly 1,300. Liberals call this progress. The browning of America will not be good .
These New Americans (
as Zionist Bill Kristol likes to label them have no intentions of assimilating into the communities they eventually overwhelm . They will and are remaking America into the corrupt and impoverished shitholes they created in their homelands. Look at the pics here and see if you can spot the diversity? https://bittersoutherner.com/fifty-nations-deep-clarkston-georgia-cross-country-team?utm_source=pocket-newtab
We get what we allow and deservedly so.
“When the famous president says this crap about ‘the shitholes,’” Etienne told me moments later — referring to Donald Trump’s 2018 comment about “shithole countries” in Africa, as well as Haiti and El Salvador — “we are that.” Etienne, who is Haitian-American, paused to let his words sink in. ”

I live in Tucker so I know just what you are talking about. Sometimes driving down Montreal it looks like a scene from a Syrian refugee documentary.
I went to Tucker High School quite a long time ago now!! I was back in metro Atlanta a few months ago and took a wrong turn and ended up in Clarkston and I wondered what happened to that place! WOW.
Some of us age like fine wine in a cool dark cellar
Some of us age like milk left out on the counter
Some of us shove massive amounts of processed poison food into the hole under our noses
Some of us eat only real nutritious food we raise ourselves free of chemicals and poison or we are picky on what we buy and consume
Some of us lug around 20 – 30 – 40 – 50 – 100+ pounds of blubber
Some of us keep our weight consistent with our body type over the decades
Some of us turn to unused soft flab
Some of us physically work and work out and stay toned no matter the decade
Some of us are filled with poisons and toxins
Some of us regularly detox
Some of believe Doctors are little gods and shove Big Pharma poison prescriptions or allow poison injections into our bodies
Some of us become our own doctors searching for prevention and cures from healthy food, detox, fasting, and natural remedies.

Here’s one to consider, when gauging fairness and penalties.
Company healthcare.
Open enrollment period in 2018.
Passive participation. Or, if no changes required, no action necessary, according to HR.
Lo, and behold, if you didn’t review, and you didn’t notice the new declaration requirement for tobacco use, you were assumed as a tobacco user, subject to a surcharge to policy premium deduction on each payroll.
Only those who reviewed, and checked a box stating they were not a tobacco user, was exempt from the surcharge. Liars, too.
After open enrollment period closed, you were locked in, unless you joined a tobacco cessation program, completed it, and then became eligible to remove the surcharge.
Screw it. I enjoy an occasional cigar.
Now, in the open enrollment for 2019-2020, when considering to find, and avoid the surcharge hit every payroll, I heard that if you declared a non-user status, and came down with any disease strongly linked to tobacco use, you could be denied coverage for treatment.
OK, I’ll pay the surcharge.
Two issues with this, though.
What about people who have never smoked, chewed, or Vaped, and they catch the big C? It happens.
More importantly, why is there no type II diabetes surcharge, for participants who swill 32 oz. Diet Cokes with every meal? & candy?
Or, cardiac risk surcharges for people who consume garbage food on a daily basis, causing severe obesity & clogged arteries?
Sick Care insurance companies are a racket, lobbying with deep pockets, paying corrupt legislatures, and they laugh all the way to the bank.
Prescription costs and big pharma is another sewer of greedy, corrupt people who care not at all, how many lives they destroy.
Financially and physically.
What a mess.
Yeah, govern your health wisely.
Guess I oughtta quit the Fuentes.
Seems like unfair penalties levied.
“Guess I oughtta quit the Fuentes”.
Anon,
Now, let’s not get fanatical!
On a side note I have met some of the Fuentes at Tobacco Association of America (TAA) conventions, I was a Loss Prevention Consultant working in the industry, got to know them a little, wonderful people, and they sponsored me to speak at two TAA conventions.
Was given a handmade light and dark barber pole by Cynthia Fuente –Suarez, made by her Dad, it was amazing, and receiving it was a high honor as she presented it to me at a convention dinner were I was the keynote.
I won’t, brudder.
That was a lament before the critics chime in about how to stop bitching about the T-surcharge.
I was just ranting.
Good story, about the barber pole two tone.
There’s something about sitting with a good friend, enjoying simple pleasures like a libation in one paw, and a fine rolled smoke in the other.
No doubt!
Been smoking since 1961. 15 cigarettes a day for the better part of 57 years. Certainly winning the genetic lottery plays a part (father died @ 94; mother alive @ 95). But no one will dissuade me from my belief that a great deal has to do with my starting to smoke while my body was still in its formative stage and my heart and lungs became acclimated to what may be best described as an alien atmosphere.
That opinion is as good as any.
And no matter what we do we still end up dead….life is not fair…..
