I learned that old people's wisdom is worth it's weight in gold. You should learn this as well.
My Pops taught me that when grown folks are talking you shut up and listen. It wasn't a suggestion or an option. He also taught me to respect and value my elders, which was also not optional. He always had time to listen and he valued what they had to say. I still do the same to this day, because it is not optional, it is expected.
Take care of yourself, ol' man. You seem like a decent one.

Just revisiting this thread:
Thanks for sharing, that’s a cool story for sure. Stories like this deserve to be heard and I always appreciate stuff like that from historical periods.
Thanks, man.

Cocomo, my grandmother's mother was living in GA when Sherman's army came through burning and pillaging.
An army officer came into their house to run them all out. My grandmother's father was off serving in the Confederacy at the time.
On their wall hung a Masonic apron. The Union officer happened to be a Mason as well. He asked who owned the apron and my g-grandmother explained it was her husband's.
The Union officer ordered his men to cease and desist and not burn that house. Masonry was pretty strong back then.

I have a feeling this old man has been to Sonic a few times in his life.

Occasionally I'll post something on here and you young know-it-all punks down vote my arse. Fine, but believe me, a man who has been around long as I have, been through the shite I have, often times knows more than you think you do.
People who care about downvotes make me laugh

I mean, let’s be frank though…not all old people wisdom is created equal.
You gonna listen to the wisdom of Joe Biden?
