I know I'm too young when I see someone I know here's post in a Youtube video made about a trojan virus from back when I was 4.

I remember. Seatbelts were those things you stuffed down between the seat cushion and the backrest cushion. Thank God my folks were good drivers. My Dad started driving in his early teens while working as a yard jockey for a trucking company. Then he drove trucks for decades. When he died at 79, he had one ticket on his record, and that was for parking facing the wrong way on a street.

Any, despite dad's sometimes aggressive driving, we survived without any accidents. Still, long trips such as vacations were stressful. With the VW, dad practiced what I later called, "Energy management." After a long, slow climb up a hill he go like hell down the other side and pass the cars that passed him while going up the hill. On the level he'd draft semi's while watching oncoming traffic closely. When a gap in the traffic was coming our way, he was on the throttle well before the traffic gap was available, slowly accelerating. Just as the gap appeared he'd zoom out into the opposing lane and sort of slingshot past the semi truck. Just barely.

I catch myself noticing, correcting and drawing attention to it myself. Hard to be embarrassed when you don't care.

You know you're old when you make an appointment with the doctor and by the time you see him something more serious than the original complaint needs attention. So when he asks why you're here you need an algorithm to come up with an answer.

Even if it were, being embarrassed about it wouldn't be because the zipper was open…
