This morning, I saw a brief video.

An old “doddering old man” delivering Amazon packages to the door (Amazon of course, who else. Hehe. Jeff Bezos, once again – even though you’re not the topic here – you’re the MAN!) . . . a man that had a serious limp, and could barely bend down to put the packages on the doorstep.

He finally managed it.

He looked back, saw a flag flying “to the ground” (probably flew off a balcony or something).

He picked it up – looked around. Nothing and no-one was there.

He repeated the very laborious (for him) process of bending down and … picking up the flag.

He placed it all over the packages.

He saluted it like a champ!

And he walked away.

I dont know who the man was, maybe a vet? I dont know, it doesnt matter to me!

PATRIOT!

And yet, as some commentors rightly said, some of the idiots out there would look at this old man and tarnish him “automatically” with the “white supremacist” tag.

PATHETIC, this race mongering going on these days has reached new levels!

Anyway, it reminds me of an equally poignant moment when I was 15 . . .

We stopped at a Mickey D’s on the highway.

And an OLD man, a doddering man even older than this dude (and remember, this was during the so called “good times” and credit aplenty and stuff) was collecting the trash from the bins (garbage cans) outside.

As I made my way to toss my trash – I saw him lifting up a heavy bag he coul dbarely hold.

I paused.

I wasn’t sure what to do!

“Why not”, the man said, in a slow, “old” voice.

I hesitated.

This dude was just too old to be …

“Why not!”

“Please, go ahead!”

I finally uneasily put my trash it – it didnt seem right for some reason- and I thanked him!

I know this may seem stupid to most reading it.

But thinking about these things makes me say what I did in my title.

There is no substitute for REAL MEN that work every day of their lives to make a honest living, and no substitute for bullshit either, and we see plenty of both these days, don’t we?

Or, I should say, plenty of the latter!

Anyway, my computer’s about to go for the nth crash, so before it does …

I guess this is a prime reason why even doddering old men should do 0 Excuses Fitness, or why everyone should, so you never reach the point where bending down becomes a chore.

Or, putting on a shirt makes your shoulders yell out loud with pain (for weight pumpers that do it wrong).

Or, a back that creaks every time you get up from your chair.

Or, to be able to carry groceries up the flights of stairs to your apartment YOURSELF until the day you pass on.

Once the Tom Tom’s disappear and the hoo haa ends, that, to me is what it’s all about.

A healthy, long and prosperous life, to me that is impossible without regular exercise – the right way.

Back soon (hopefully, if Win Gates inspired crashes stay away!).

Best,

PS – So (not) sorry to hear about the Bill Bleats divorce. Maybe if he had paid as much attention to fixing his marriage as he did messing up user devices and making Winblows the worst operating system ever, and kowtowing to China – it wouldnt have happened!
