When the year 2000 came HBO had a special with folks 100 years or older. Two of them that really stood out for me...one was 104 and her biggest worry is that she would lose her job as a proof reader for the newspaper she worked for...she still didn't wear glasses and walked to work every day. (One day she was late...so was the paper since everyone stopped working when she didn't show up for work on time...never happened before). The other was a man that thought the most amazing thing that happened during his 100 years was that, "it used to take 2 hours to go to town...now it takes two hours to get to his daughters house in LA". They would ride the horse drawn cart into town. Life has changed...we have more conveniences and we have less time...hmmm. Cars don't last as long and yet cost so much more. I still drive my beater...94...bought in 96 and just over 150k miles...a/c gone but 5 speed, runs great, great mpg...and the tow truck...well that's my baby...found for $13,500 with under 60k miles on her. The deals are out there...just keep looking.
