I get my first Covid jab today. I guess this means I should put some trousers on.
It’s inevitable, your kids and your grand kids will go through a phase where they think they know everything and that everything you did was wrong and stupid. Just like you did.
Random: Archaeologists dig and date things by soil layers. Somewhere down there is a whole layer of aluminum drink can pop tabs (the old kind that you completely remove and we used to cut our feet on.) Pure evil. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drin…
