Those men all look like they are retired and don't know what to do except twiddle their thumbs.

I'd wager that 3/4 are not retired and that being on vacation as noted on the back of the card is something so alien to them that they don't know how to do nothing. I understand that very well. Until very recently in my career track I found that it to take at least 3-4 days on a vacation to actually begin to relax and be able to do "nothing".

I left the last company that I worked for at age 57 and started my retirement at age 58. The company offered a pretty good deal for those with 20 years and over 55. Moved to our present location where we also had a place on Table Rock lake. Was looking forward to starting a part time business doing prop repair.

However at the same time we took on the responsibility of raising my daughters two boys. The youngest boy is bi-polar. He was born with two holes in his heart that were patched when he was three months old. Raising a child that has medical conditions and is bi-polar can be a real challenge. I spent as much time at school as he did with psychologist and also Psychiatrist. Psychiatrist are the ones that can prescribe medications and the schools insisted on it.

You can plan all you want for your future, but life has a way of throwing curve balls at you......

That's not a retirement; that's a full time job all by itself, particularly when you are over 50.

You can only do the best you can and then weather the storm that might come..... Sadly, few are prepared and fewer still even bother to prepare.

Everything got so obliterated, it's nearly impossible to discern what is railroad rolling equipment and which were the structures for the site. Wow. That's some mess.

P.S. Is the latest Teddy visiting his proctologist - he has a certain look on his face, like he's saying, "I can't believe you are actually intending to insert that there...!"

I did post quite a long time ago some other cards documenting this event - did not have a copy of this specific card = you can see the crane in the distance.....

Seen that look in the mirror then, have you?

They only do it to see the expression on your face change.

No Thanx. I have a feeling I should not have posted that, anyolways. Perhaps, delete, and definitely not expand?

Entirely up to you.

If i were a proctologist i would have 2 fake rubber hands. Right before your test i would place one on each of your shoulders.
You got to give these DR. a break. They start at the bottom and stay there.

If i were a proctologist.....

.....you'd probably be playing golf in Florida.
