TURN IN THE KEYS!

MEMO TO SELF: When you become too old and feeble to compress the gas pedal of your nice expensive car, to make it go faster than 30 miles an hour on a very busy highway, TURN IN YOUR KEYS!!! If you try to convince yourself you've still got what it takes and others on the road (no...it doesn't belong to just you) can just deal with your inability to push that little pedal down, then POSSIBLY your reasoning has also gone the way of death. Zippo...it's GONE!!! Seriously now, Mary, when you can't seem to tell there are other cars on the road (or don't CARE) and it seems okay to you to just pull out of those little casino's directly in front of those other people (remember...there ARE others on the road!) then possibly you should call a loved one and give them your car keys. Got it? If you try really hard, you MAY be able to remember it was YOU that recorded this memo. If for whatever reason you simply can't remember this, just don't wear those little knit caps that point you out as being old, demented and feeble. I'm sure the "others" want you safe and love you anyway, even if you do consistently cause near pile ups on very busy roads. Remember when you were 62 years old and wrote this blog after a near heart attack because some little casino lady with a knit cap, lost in her own little world, was allowed to drive. Remember that you could always spot the casino addicts by their driving! Oblivious to everything and everyone around them. Semi trucks and cars alike, almost eating those cute little $35,000 cars, because the driver didn't want to miss any casino in the area. Give it up!
