If traffic is really thin I will drop back to 60 mph. Oddly enough my wife does the same pretty much. I noticed it seemed to extend the life of tire treads to some extent although there is no way to be sure. Just an insignifigant observation.

We both are also in our seventies and speeding tickets or other infractions would attract attention perhaps. We renew our drivers licenses every five years. When I was 70 I got a lot of questions asked. At 75 none when I was expecting worse.

In a few years I will renew my license again at 80 hopefully. I will also give it up the day I feel incompetent. Also your doctor is required to turn you in. No tickets cannot hurt. I have no wish to hurt anyone either. I have seen the results of people that should no longer have a license when older.

You are never too old for some things I suppose. I was going in and out of the most expensive condo frequently in a city not long ago. Lots of local things to see as it was the first city in Canada. Historical in content. I noticed the same women across the street in a group several times. I went to a local bar and just guess the woman that also entered and sat down beside me. The place was pretty empty.

She was not a hooker. Mining must have been pretty thin for that gold digger though I thought. Around forty to forty five I suspected Desperate perhaps as well. Well structured and dressed though.. At my age they are all younger.

I did cover her bar tab as the conversation was interesting. Had I not been married and somewhat younger say by a month or two. A ride would not have upset me.

Guess who shows up at the condo later? It turns out she was a friend of the really expensive condo owners. She had to be playing with me at the bar. Turns out she was a senior executive at a communication company. They had told her previously that I would be visiting with the wife.

As she came in the condo and we were introduced. I mentioned that we had met earlier.. With women it usually will get mentioned anyways. The wife figured it had to be that day. So she asked did you borrow my husband? She responded she had and he was a gentleman. To following peals of laughter of both of them. Her and the wife got along well for the remainder of the evening. At my expense I suspect.

To be 77 and married is not the best thing to be at times I suppose. She made me understand why some old guys get really foolish . I always had the best at home without a doubt though in many ways.
