I was just thinking, as I was reading though the post, about why older folks get confused & seem to forget a lot of stuff. There has been a rash of reported accidents lately, in my part of the state, of older folks driving through store fronts! I think that it's because we just have TOO MUCH crap stored in our heads! You young guys & gals have mostly empty heads, so you are able to remember the names of all the different flies & fishing gear, etc. available to us. The older generation has been storing both useful & dumb stuff up-stairs, for a long time. So next time you talk to someone like me or some of the other older folks on line, or in your personal lives [eg. parents & grandparents] and they sound a little "dippy," it's probably because they have gone into the "Brain Overloaded" stage of life. We are just too smart for our own good. Laughing1 Laughing1
