Here's that image from Mexico City. April, 1996.

You know you're old when YOU start yelling and shaking your fist at people driving too fast down your street instead of being the one speeding down the street

That's me, except I'm not yelling and shaking my fist. I'm driving slow and mumbling under my breath at the reckless young-ins.

Funny thing, I still watch some of that old stuff. Reminds of a different time.

...when you start missing important details while shopping. In the past week I bought laundry detergent that was clearly marked as lavender scented even though Wifey hates scented detergent (I'm no fan either), plus a jar of spicy/sweet pickles that I had tried before and didn't like. I missed the "spicy" part on the label this time. And then there are the new pedals I bought for one of my bikes that clearly won't work with the extenders I have. If I had been paying attention to detail, I would have caught that.

All of these are minor annoyances. But I'm worried I may one day miss a crucial detail that leads to much more than a minor annoyance. Tough to get old.

You know you're old when you scarf down three large containers of suspiciously-inexpensive beef jerky before you see "treat for dogs" on the label.

A friend's parents actually did that once...and finished all three jars of the stuff.....
