The New Car and the Attack of the Old People

Yesterday, I went to the Fox lake Theatre with the intention of seeing the movie "Water for Elephants."

I took the new 2011 Malibu for my first time since we bought it. (I had driven it for a test-drive, but Liz drove it home) Still raining a little. Why is it every time we buy a new car, it has to get rained on right away? That even happened with our last two new boats. Of course, in boats, it is even less enjoyable.

I was testing out the radio presets. We have three months of free XM radio and I'm going to use it (but hopefully won't feel it necessary to buy it). I got the first group of presets set up, but couldn't figure out how to do the second one. I have the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s preset and am now on the Radio Margaritaville station.

I definitely won't have Howard Stern set on it though. What a waste.


ATTACK OF THE OLD PEOPLE

There were lots of cars already in the theatre parking lot and at least five others that appeared to be driverless as I was looking for a place to park. I saw that they were driven by little old ladies.

The line to enter was out the door and wrapping around the ice cream place. I've never seen that many people. A bus pulled up and more white hairs got off. It was a senior citizen feeding frenzy!!

I found out later "Water for Elephants" was about a guy in a rest home reminiscing about his life in a traveling circus back in the 30s and 40s. This would be a draw for old folks and I imagine that is why they were there.

I figured I'd just see another movie, but when I walked up to the theatre, all five registers had at least ten people in line. No way I'm going to wait in a line like that.

Wait a minute, in less than a month, I'll be sixty. reckon that kind of makes me an old person as well.
