Of all the compound nouns used to label Rock music, "Fossil Rock" has to be the least flattering.

Maybe when YOU'RE old - most of the seniors living at such communities that *I* know are lucky if they can still walk around the parking lot.

Oh - and I absolutely plan to see the Beach Boys in a few months.

I bet if the sponsors didn't have to factor in space for the metal walkers they could get a couple thousand more people into the shows. We were thinking of going to the Beach Boys concert but didn't want to be the only ones there without mobility aids.

North Beach Person: You ain't old! I see your sig line. I can remember when Calvert County only had ONE traffic light (originally at NRL-CBD and then later at the intersection of MD 260 & MD 261 and it HAD ONLY ONE COLOR! flashing red) And before the light went to that intersection there was a seasonal Chesapeake Beach cop that directed traffic during the summer weekend rushes. The single color traffic light was still at NRL-CBD when I worked there but was eventually changed to a 3-position light for traffic control for the base FD.

But then again I can remember a very large beach out in front of the houses on Atlantic Avenue from 7th Street all the way down past Uncle Billy's Pier and oft times extending about 1/2 block up towards the swamp where the Navy Theodolite tower was at the end of the seawall there and the seawall was made of wood!

Oh! And I might now be "old" by the numbers but even after 7 decades I use NO "mobility aids", have ALL of my parts and take NO medications and can STILL run the younger folks into the ground without breaking a sweat. My parents raised me to take care of myself, get exercise and eat well. Something that today's generation(s) have failed miserably to do. Can still jog 5 miles reliably.
