Devil 49:
Dinosaur, eh? Youngsters today got no respect for their elders!
No offense intended, Devil. At my advanced age (high side of 50 now), I myself sometimes get referred to as a dinosaur by the younger bucks who seem to know so much more than I do. That comment was kind of a tongue-in-cheek dig at my generation. We do kind of get set in our ways.
But I know myself better now. For a long time I had these "Truths" - these absolutes - these things that I just *KNEW* were correct and so never questioned them. Until one or two of them were proven wrong. And then it made me start to question and doubt everything. And so I've had to re-learn stuff that I was either taught incorrectly or that I learned incorrectly or that I remembered incorrectly. It's a little unnerving. Because when you start thinking about it, you go, "Hmm, I wonder what
