People say 60 is the new 40... but the policeman who stopped me did not agree.
When I see lovers' names and initials carved into trees I wonder, Why were they carrying a knife on a date?
I do not understand why someone would sit in traffic for half an hour just to ride a stationary bike at the gym for 20 minutes.
Sometimes you meet that special someone and you immediately know you want to spend the rest of your life avoiding them.

Just saw this pic of Big and it triggered a memory:
My hair has always been very limp and fine. The absolute rage in HS was to have a flat-top haircut.
Went to the barbershop and told the barber I wanted a flat-top cut.
His answer: "No. I won't work with your hair. You will look like a wet chicken."
I never got a flat-top haircut. Wasn't cleared for it with anyone on Earth.
But I DID get my head shaved in Basic. And it cost me 65c out of my Flying Forty <-- $40 was a month's pay in advance given to Basic dudes. Last time you saw money (could not keep any, ordered to buy stuff at the PX down to: "Toothbrush, two rows of bristles" etc until the $40 was gone.

That last picture hurts my eyes. Gonna use that in my Garden. 
I’m gonna put it in my garden too. Right beside my baby “big” plant “Josie” for protection.

This is how to lose weight. I watched a guy in my office lost 50+ lbs and kept it off. First, he bought one of those micro finger stickers to track blood sugar. Tone down carbs, and monitor when you go into kitosis. (Spelling?) This is when you body has exhausted the carbs you dumped in it, and now running off stored fat.
Once you have your carbs under control and are regularly going kitosis, you begin 12 to 18 hour fast. This can include your sleep time, so it's not that bad. Just a couple hours on either end of your sleep time.
Next, add some level of excercise to speed the process up.
This is the only diet I ve seen that really works. It doesn't work over night, but not that slow. It is the only diet I have seen that you don't hit "the wall" (insulin resistance) and stop losing.
Once you are where you need to be, watching carbs is easy. Go on vacation cheat away, then back to it on return.
It's been a year and he hadn't gained it back.
He goes to lunch with us probably 2 of the 5 work days, and brings his keto stuff on the others.
Once you have figured out when you go into ketosis you don't have to keep doing the blood test.

I cut mine in a short burr just before showing up for basic and they still cut it shorter on the sides to make pointed on top. The crouch called that our "bucket issue", because we walked through a line with a bucket collecting the different items. The same bucket we used for a litany of things, including exercises on the grinder filled with sand.
Due to my serving my country in a much later era that you Walt, my starting E-1 pay was a princely $78 and my bucket issue cost most of that due to the rampant inflation since your valiant air service in our nations war of independence.
Way purtier that I was, I'll give you that!
No one in my red neck high school with hair that long, except for some of the girls, but in the early 70's my hair reached the longest it has ever been:
After a week white water boating:
You look like an evil Bond Movie villain
Looks stoned to me.
