Yup it does start early. I'm not sure how exactly playing with cap guns led to drag racing big-block Chryslers in the early '80s but I'll take it. And yes I do love being the first one away when the light turns green still to this day.

Jack in the Box - Seniors age 55 or older can get 20% off their entire order.

Of course, there's no JitB restaurant within 600 miles of here to partake in this generous offer.....

^ Just read that "Opie's Charity" was an episode on The Andy Griffith Show.

Used to watch this show all the time but don't think I saw that episode.

"Pride in what other people think presents itself to Andy two-fold when he hears that Opie gave only a measly three cents to a school charity ..."

My parents got tons upon tons of senior discounts. They even had free lifetime senior passes for every US national park; they used the heck out of them too.

Now that the heart of the boomer generation is hitting 65 those discounts are disappearing fast.

BUT, you have brain freeze. You know you know it, but need to wait until the needle hits the right spot on the record playing in your brain. I'll wake up at 3am when the answer pops in my head.
