Old people are cool.

A little back story: Every few days, I swing by my grandma's house to check up on her. She's cool and since my grandpa passed, I have become the go-to maintenance guy for her. Trim hedges, spray for bugs/weeds, car stuff, etc. Anywho, today she calls to ask if I could change a couple of light bulbs. I'm not doing anything important tonight, so I agree. As I pull up to her house, there's five or six golf carts outside, which means she has some friends from the retirement community she lives in over. I have a good idea of the owners of these carts (some of which are really nice [sorry, no SR20]), and it looks like this is her card playing friends. Bridge, Cribbage, Euchre, Uno, Mexican Train (which is a domino game). Cool, I think as I go inside. Would you like to guess which game they were playing?

Cards Against Humanity.

Yup. This is kinda awkward now.

After exchanging pleasantries, I changed the light bulbs and prepared to leave, when I was asked by my grandma if I would like to stay and play a few rounds. 'I love you grandma,' I'm thinking, 'but this game can get pretty awkward with my friends and I want to be able to show my face around here again.' So I politely decline and go about my business. Even though I didn't play, I still think it's cool they are.

Actually, they probably still are even though it's 11:30pm. Old people never sleep. Seriously, this game will go on 'til midnight and they will all be up and doing errands by 5am.

On a car related note, one of the snowbirds is driving around a Meyers Manx this winter. Yes, old people are cool.

And I will get a picture of it with my potato when it isn't dark out.

My mom (70's) still has her cherry 280Z T-top. Random people are always trying to buy it from her when she drives it. Last time we talked, she told me about another offer, but said, "Well, I'm not ready to get rid of it, yet."

Old people do have a style of their own.
