Funny! But isn’t it amazing!!??
An old boss of mine had some health issues; but after 20 years he went to get his flying license. He got started on it, but with the regulation manual at 4-inches thick compared to the 1/2-inch he had flown with, he quickly realized that at 72-years old it wasn’t going to be feasible.
His son got him Microsoft Flight or whatever - and he would spend hours doing that. He would fly old routes that he had done in the past - he loved it.
“And if I have to go to the bathroom - I just hit the pause button and don’t need to worry about it. And I can even fly under the Columbia River Bridge and not get in trouble for it!”
LOL!
But it IS amazing. Ever since the Internet came along - and even before that - people were always saying that the world was getting ‘smaller’ all the time.
To me, the world just gets bigger, every day! I see so many things, encounter so many people, and LEARN so much more, than anyone in my position could ever have done 20 or 30 years ago.
I have critters and people to look after; and while I enjoyed travel somewhat when I was young, I always realized something: whenever I came home, what I had seen and experienced was always more real in my MIND than it had been when I was there looking at it!
I really like to stay home now, and take care of things. But daily, I’m amazed by the resources that are at my fingertips ;-)
