It’s pretty dangerous being the oldest living person. Nobody seems to live very long in that position.

I have no desire to live to 100+. Who wants to outlive their spouse, children and friends? Plus I can’t imagine the hellhole this world will be in 50 years if the Lord tarries His return.

One of my favorite songs: “Who wants to live forever” by Queen.

I first heard it during my first viewing of “The Highlander” in an Annapolis, MD movie theater between my Plebe and Youngster years at USNA.

My father had no desire to live past 90.
He died a few weeks short of it.
He died in 2015.
COPD. (Cardio Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (emphysema)).
He started smoking cigarettes when he was 12; quit when he was 75.

Born in San Francisco, so just as eligible as Kamala to become President of the US, except for not having resided in the US for at least 14 years.

Just heard on the Radio that she did not have a valid Birth Certificate - no one except her mother knows the real Birth Date.
