“He was 44 & she was 46.”
Lesson learned, “boomers are dumbasses.”
The youngest "boomers" are now 48. These are early Gen-Xers. I'm almost 44, and I certainly know better. Our winter trip packing includes extra water, food, compact shovel, a bag of sand, extra clothes/winter clothes, blankets and fire-making stuff. That's just for the trips where we won't be leaving the highway on purpose.
These people were not boomers. As it turns out, you’re the dumbass.
