Speeding Assholes

 

While driving today, I was passed by two vehicles going at least 120 km/hour in a 70km/hr zone. It was astonishing how quick they moved. I don't like to drive anymore, but I have to. I still live in Calgary- somewhere. 

Time passes by quickly. I am old now. I feel older than the mountains in this picture above my text. I sit and wonder "Why am I here? For what?". I am immune to most fads and interests now. I still dress nicely and clean quite a bit. I had the oil and filter changed in the Toyota a few days ago. They sold me an air filter for $35. 

I no longer lunge for technology. I hate it.

But here we are. 

Longing for the past. Reaching but never quite making it there. My life was so believable back then. Theresa was there. Her mom and George. If I go back far enough, Shelby the dog is there - a good girl. Neil I will forget. Not a nice man at all. Marion took care of him. But now? I simply am here.

I feel like the oldest thing in existence. Achievement unlocked. Ha.

Most people my age retire by now. I continue to work hard. I hope to keep working as long as possible.

At least there's that.
