#Today 07

Good day!

We turn clocks ahead in the US tonight. I hope we don’t lose anyone. Time travel can get messy, especially when politicians are telling you how to do it.

I always wonder if there’s anyone who actually climbs out of bed at the designated hour to change them?

Be everwell.

The view looks between snow laden conifers from up high and over the clouds below to glimpse the shoulder on another mountain beneath a gray sky. This view existed for only a moment before the clouds erased it. It’s the cold of winter combined with exhilaration.

Once a week, 85-year-old Makiko Kimura mans the register at a sweets shop in western Tokyo.

Tell this to those ageist employers that regularly discriminate over age.

There is an old Spanish saying, "Más sabe el diablo por viejo que por diablo."

'The improvements were not limited to a small group of exceptional individuals and, notably, were linked to a powerful but often overlooked factor: how people think about aging itself.'

I teach medical students about aging. But we never discussed what's silently accelerating it - the chemicals in your cookware.

A new study in Frontiers in Aging found "forever chemicals" (PFAS) are speeding up biological aging at the epigenetic level.

Key findings:
> PFAS detected in 95% of participants
> Men aged 50-64 showed accelerated aging across 12 epigenetic clocks
> PFNA and P...

🧓 It's annoying to read so many studies about challenges encountered by senior citizens.

You're wasting *our limited* and precious *time* and someone's money with your studies, instead simply ASK US what we need to be healthy and safe.

Contrary to the opinion of many younger folk most of us do have the capability to think, form a sentence, and communicate., not to mention valuable life experience in problem-solving.

Good day!

Well, I’m not crazy. Not entirely. I am a writer, after all.

To this point, we’ve officially had the warmest winter on record for this region, which is the northern Rockies.

No subzero days, and few that failed to climb over freezing.

Be everwell.

A trail cots between two pines on a high saddle between mountains. All is covered with snow, including the mixed pine trees ahead. The sky is gray.

Baby boomers are aging fast. Adult day care can help their caregivers.

Adult day care centers provide crucial, affordable relief for caregivers, especially members of the “sandwich generation” who are taking care of parents and children at the same time. But the estimated 3,100 programs serving an estimated 200,000 people nationally are...

Ich bin zwar noch keine 60 aber die Veränderung von Mitte 30 bis Ende 40 merke ich schon. Is aber nicht schlimm 🙂

As I’ve got older, I’ve learned to train smarter — not harder — so I can ride further, enjoy bikepacking trips, and maintain my weight loss.

Boomers who soon won't be able to drive live in non-walkable cities. It's like a 70-million unit drone swarm coming for farmers markets

We may soon have 70 million boomers too old to drive, too car-dependent to stop.
Lloyd Alter, Feb 25, 2026

As the baby boomer bubble pushes into its eighties, we are driving into a demographic wall.

"In March 2024, Mary Fong Lau, 78 years old at the time, drove her Mercedes SUV at 72MPH into a bus shelter, killing a family of four. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, she told someone at the scene that she had tried to brake but “accidentally moved (her) foot onto the gas pedal.” She apparently will not go to jail because she is old, and it would be “sentencing her to die within the state prison system.” And hey, while she is accused of moving millions of dollars and various properties she owns to third parties to avoid financial penalties, she does apparently feel remorse."
