proof of the amazing number of elderly where i live

Okay, how many times have you gone into Office Depot and seen the elderly in force?

I just went to ship my sister's birthday present and was the only person besides the employees under the age of, I'd say, 85 in the place. I'm talking gray hair, canes, hunched backs.

Then on the way home, I nearly hit this elderly man (who was obviously trying to be young) on his BIKE in the street. He was riding a mountain bike, had iPod speakers hanging from his shoulders, and was on the cell phone with one hand. Riding in the street against traffic on a major thoroughfare. I complain about the 1973 Datsuns on the road going 12 miles an hour, but come on, dude? Take the Datsun next time.
