Yes. I see a lot of older women with the telltale wrinkled lips, and older men with the yellow triangle on their front teeth, and all of them have a kind of tint to the skin.Smokers are the ones I often notice appear older than chronological age…
One thing my wife and I notice quit often on our long drives is that once you get up to highway speeds and stay there for a long time, you get used to it. They you come into metro areas, the speed limit drops to, say, 50, and you feel like you're crawling.Autobahn in Mercedes rental 230 kmh… didn’t seem fast until over 200 but slowing down is when reality hit.
230kmh is about 153 mph.

Now me... I never smoked. I'm just bald and overweight.![]()
We can always use the roundabouts as a skid pad.I really liked the old car chase movies.
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Vanishing Point...
Sometimes driving around I imagine I'm in a car chase as I approach an intersection.
There is so much traffic around now that I would surely be wrecked by the 2nd or 3rd stop I blew.
My stretch of highway is aboot as straight as you're going to get. Limited gentle bends.
And rarely much traffic.
Even so it's always a risk.
Bald by the grace of God. Overweight by choice.Hey, hey... hey,hey,hey!
That's my line.![]()
I would love to do it like the scene in The Dukes Of Hazard movie.We can always use the roundabouts as a skid pad.![]()
Just make sure you have several super slow motion cameras in place. I hear it's a one-take shot!I would love to do it like the scene in The Dukes Of Hazard movie.
I had long dense wavey hair. Often long enough to tie it under my chin. My barber when I did see him said I'd never go bald.Bald by the grace of God. Overweight by choice.

Biggest issue is remembering to keep the hat off enough to maintain an even tan.
