    You know you are getting old when:

    When I got serious about smoking and started seriously back in...1987?...Winston was my brand. Now, I couldn't tell you why. Over 30 years I switched two or three times, and now I can't remember what the brand was when I stopped for the last time; Benson & Hedges, I think. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    What's on your keychain?

    Keychain? No, not quite. I have two of those Remote/Fob things--one for my wife's SUV and one for my truck--connected by a couple of those key rings that are roughly the size of an American 25¢ piece. On those I have the key for my truck, the key for her SUV, key for the front door of the...

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    Could be. Her hat seems a bit ostentatious for school though. :confused:

    Akubra Overload

    Careful now. The green one looks so good on her that she might just want to keep it for herself. ;)

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    ^ The young lady in this photo looks familiar to me, but I have no idea why.

    You know you are getting old when:

    This is one of the reasons I keep my keys in one pocket, coins/change in another, my wallet in another, and so on. And, unless I have a good reason not to, make sure I return them all to those pockets just as soon as I possibly can. Doing that has really cut down on the amount of time I waste...

    “WTF’ Hats,” that are hard to believe...

    ^ Scrolling down, I saw the photo first and my first thought was that they were dressed as cacti, not pickles. Prickly or sour, either way I'm not sure it would make for a good first impression.

    Yeah, I'd much rather have someone I find attractive flash my eyes. ;)

    Just keep reading. Your vision will either get worse, or it won't. If it doesn't, nothing to worry about. If it does, see your optometrist. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You know you are getting old when:

    Mid-40s for me. After doing some work around the house I discovered I had a splinter or smallish metal shaving stuck in my left thumb. As I was trying to locate it, I realized I was moving my hand farther from or closer to my face to help my eyes focus--"trombone vision", I dubbed it, i.e...

    An Akubra update

    ^ Nice! Possibly a bit too tapered to wear atop my square block of a head if I were to own one, but a jaunty "angles are attitudes" adjustment would probably take care of that. ;)

    You know you are getting old when:

    Oh, okay. No improvement needed, except perhaps to continue to educate we 'Mericans about how things are done elsewhere on the planet. ;)

    An Akubra update

    Not Akubra, but Dobbs: Different pattern and construction from the hats worn by both of the Gentlemen mentioned upthread, but a nice comfortable hat manufactured by Dobbs and purchased by me in September of 2019 to keep me warmer on those cold southern California nights while I'm walking my dog.

    Sorry, I'm not 100% certain what you seem to be asking here, or even if you're asking a question. I think you're trying to determine exactly when someone had to be born to be a member of the Baby Boomer generation; if I'm right, the answer according to the "experts" is 1946-1964. And, just in...
