A Country For Old Men


DH listed his truck on craigslist and sold it in three days to a young man (late 30's, its all relative) who said he'd looked at and rejected other trucks because the sellers either had misrepresented the vehicles or couldn't find the paperwork necessary to facilitate a transfer. He said he enjoyed dealing with senior citizens because they were honest, upfront and organized.

There are definite perks to being a senior besides just living longer - even though that's a pretty good perk all by itself. I like that DH mentors younger men in the neighborhood and that they come to him for advice or to borrow tools. He is fair, direct to the point of being blunt, and willing to lend a hand to anyone. He's the one neighbors leave their keys with, the one they call if they have problems. A good guy and I'm glad others recognize it.
