LJones,
In the immortal (for me anyway!) words of TBMJ, on reflecting upon the naivete of Youth:
"I was young and foolish then, I feel old and foolish now"
I see young kids come to our flying school - great motor skills, but ZERO maturity, wisdom or patience. Insurance companies know it...........my car costs me less to insure than a ****bucket old commodore would cost an 18 year old (and my car is worth about 25x the Holden) - why?....cos I'm older now.
....... cynicism is nothing more than informed optimism.....PHTR 2006.
And I'm certainly a cynic. It comes with age.
BTW, I'm not 100 years old, only 38
PHTR
