@raspberrypanda retirement? But they want young people. ๐
@raspberrypanda the 90 year old from the article looks only in his 70s ๐ฑ
Might help with my anti-aging regime. ๐คฃ ๐คฃ
Maybe I could turn the clock back a couple of decades.
@raspberrypanda
I'm sure just wandering the hills near by would be a great destresser. ๐
Forest bathing for the win.

@Kurtroedeger @raspberrypanda
This is why he is 90 years young:
โBecause of the farmer's spirit, we don't retire," he says. "That spirit, that we work until we die, has been planted in us for generations."
It was the spirit of my farmer grandparents, grandma lived to be 103 and tended to the farm well into her 90โs.
Use it or lose it.
Stay active, physically & mentally. Probably have a community around them too.
All the good things we hoomans need to thrive.
@CherNohio @Kurtroedeger @raspberrypanda I'm familiar with that spirit. I've watched it leave a lot of people broken wrecks that had no time to do anything but work.
@Kurtroedeger
That boat sailed YEARS ago.
But at least I'm not retirement age.
Yet.
