You Know You Are Old When

Lots of pitbulls around and homes with pits seldom have issue with breakins.

Apparently the other 2 remained inside until police... I'm guessing at gun point?

Grew up around a lot of combat vets and fearless would describe many and they were not the type to give an inch...

One had a showdown with the police animal control unit who called for backup and I saw it all...

Animal control investigating unleashed dog in public...

Kids trespassing didn't feel safe.

Thing is the old man owned several acres including to the middle of the private road.

He drew a weapon on animal control saying I won't say this again... you are trespassing and have been told to leave and I won't say this again...

My dog never leaves my property and if those delinquents continue trespassing it's on them...
Pits can be determined little dogs.... almost any dog will deter things.
The local cops rarely want near mine even when fenced or leashed, something about cops and dogs.
My job is to protect the dogs, their job is to alert and/or remove unwelcome visitors.
We do have over 90 acres and the dogs stay put, mostly.

You know you're old when, you aren't sure whether you just swatted at a gnat or one of the many floaters in your eyes.
How true. Two weeks ago I saw a misquote flying around inside the house. Then I realized it was one of those floaters I’ve heard about that old people have.

The sad thing is back in the 60s I got to see California end to end. What a beautiful state and it has everything, amazing beaches, national parks, Napa valley farms, Hollywood, San Francisco, etc.
So many people moving out now.

Much remains the same… unfortunately policies often defy logic…

Did you see the Jillian Michaels interview? When she leaves because of the "madness" (her term) you have done something special. She said I'm the poster child for progressive thinking but this is too far.

I knew I was old when I laughed at a cop who drew down on me.. poor guy was terrified..
I REALLY STARTED LAUGHING when he announced, “I WILL SHOOT YOU”..
He didn’t know what to do when I said, “You won’t be getting a cherry”..

To me, that was something I'd have wanted to do when I was young...20s or 30s. Not sure an extended road trip on a bike would be as much fun in my mid 70s.

Same here. In my late 20s, I would save up vacation time for a motorcycle tour of site seeing and camping. I traveled all over the US and Canada.

Those were great experiences, but I wouldn't enjoy a repeat today.
