Yesterday in the waiting room at the doctor's office a spry older gent who I could tell was a farmer sat down beside me. We got to talking and he finally said he's 92. I told him he looked pretty darned good for being 92. He said he had one hip replaced 25 years ago, the other one replaced 15 years ago and they give him no pain or trouble at all. He even kicked his leg up high to show how good it is. He said the only reason he uses a cane is his knee is no good. So yes it is true you sometimes can't judge an older person's age.
Up until about 1990 we had an old bachelor neighbor who's first name was Bill. He passed away at 97. He never had a phone or plumbing in the house. Up until the last couple of years of his life he'd only been to the doctor once in his life and that was when the prostate plugged up. He was born in 1895. Sometime in the late 1980's on an August day I'd been out walking around in the tangled beans pulling a few stray weeds. I probably walked a mile in all. When I came out of the field I was shot so to cool down I drove up to Bill's to see how he was doing. He was just walking out of his bean field, and he told me the beans are so tangled he can only make three rounds! He was pushing 90 at the time. Jim
