Grey (Crime) Wave

Creedence Clearwater ear worm, 11 March 2023

Another week, another winter storm.  If it weren't for that shingles shot on Wednesday, I would not have gone outside this week at all.

In other old person news, Bruce and I had a coffee in a supermarket cafe recently with a friend (who shall remain nameless) who confessed to not paying his fare on the streetcar. He'd also skipped paying for some yoga classes.

We marvelled at the incredible ease with which he had committed his crimes.

"It's because old people are invisible," he said. "We can do anything we like and no one notices."

In Canada, by 2030, more than one person in five will be over 65. So watch your wallet.

Thanks for reading!
