Hehehe. Well, kwaig, it's probably just, like most people, as you get older yourself, you see younger people and they look, well, young.

I see people in their mid and late 20s now days and think they look like really young teenagers and then simply realize that I am in my late 50s with all my kids grwon and the youngest nearing 30 now, and so that's just the way it looks to me...and to those younger kids I am really an "old man."

I am sure those "kids" are in their late teens, and maybe even early 20s. But I will tell you this...those automatic weapons they are carrying are all business.
