Clint Eastwood Said Something About Getting Old That Stopped Me Cold.
Aging is not gentle.
You are still here. Still present. Still watching the world move. But the body that carried you through everything - the wars, the work, the wildness of youth - begins to ask for more than you can give it. Joints that never complained now speak up in the morning. Eyes that once took in everything now flinch at the light. Breathing, which never required a single thought, starts needing little pauses.
But none of that is the hardest part.
The hardest part is the quiet.
At a certain age, you reach for the phone and remember there is no one left to call.
The people who knew you when you were young - who remembered the same summers, the same streets, the same faces
- are gone. One by one, then all at once, until the memories you carry have no one left to share them with.
So you tell the stories anyway.
To whoever will listen. With a little more color than perhaps the truth deserves. With a touch of pride you've earned and a grief you don't always name. You know the person across from you wasn't there. You know they can't quite feel it the way you do.
But you tell them. Because the telling is the holding on.
Those stories are not just memories. They are the proof that a life was lived. That people were loved. That things mattered.
And if no one asks for them - you offer them anyway, quietly, like setting something down on a table and hoping someone picks it up.
Old age is not simply what happens to a face or a body.
It is memory looking for a place to rest.
And what an older person needs - more than advice, more than solutions, more than someone telling them how to feel - is simply someone willing to sit down, be still, and listen.
Not to fix anything.
Just to be there.
That is the whole gift. And it costs nothing.

For the price of a single $640K Ferrari Luce, you could theoretically buy:
• 1x $159,420 Model S Plaid Signature
• 1x $159,420 Model X Plaid Signature
• 1x $99,990 Cyberbeast
• 1x $57,490 Model Y Performance

Plus, $108,690 cash leftover
NASA just gave SpaceX 6 MORE crew missions because Boeing STILL can't certify Starliner for operational flights
Boeing spent a decade and billions of dollars on a capsule that couldn't even safely return its own astronauts. When they finally flew their first crewed mission, they left the astronauts stranded for nine months. SpaceX literally had to send a Dragon to go rescue them
SpaceX has been doing this reliably since 2020 and has now successfully launched 19 total crewed missions (13 for NASA + 6 private)
The ultimate reality check:
• NASA gave Boeing $4.2 Billion but they only gave SpaceX $2.6 Billion... nearly half of what Boeing got
• SpaceX has been flawlessly executing mission after mission for NASA for years now
• Boeing faced years of delays, finally flew one crew, and then SpaceX literally had to come to the rescue
• Boeing has zero operational crew flights. SpaceX is single-handedly keeping American access to the ISS alive
And for SpaceX, that's not even the whole story. While Boeing struggles with basic certification, SpaceX became the gold standard for high-reliability space missions and has already shifted its focus to massive missions with Starship, which will unlock an entirely new economy beyond Earth
NASA paid a massive premium for a capsule that can't reliably fly, while completely underestimating the one company that actually delivers
There is something magical happening with SpaceX the IPO and the idea of “a merger of equals with Tesla”. Something much bigger is happening and I believe it will happen over the next 90 days! @elonmusk Hang on to your ass Fred!
People always love to ask, "What are you going to do when the battery goes on your Tesla?"
This 2019 Model 3 RWD owned by @Drive_Protected still had the ORIGINAL battery and rear motor after 381,000 miles (613,000 km). Even after all those miles, the battery retained 70% capacity.
He decided to bring new life to the car by swapping the original NCA pack for a modern LFP pack from a newer Model 3. The original pack was still perfectly functional, the swap was just for performance.
Swapping a battery in a Tesla is much quicker than people think. In just a few hours, the orginal battery was removed then replaced with a LFP pack. Once configured via the computer, the car is perfectly functional. There’s no huge mess, not a lot of wires, it’s actually very simple once you are experienced with it. His Model 3 now functions and charges like a newer car.
Tesla vehicles are designed from the ground up to be very serviceable.
@gnoble79 I took all of my money out of Fidelity Contrafund in July 2012, and I am really glad that I did. I also bought my first shares of $TSLA in July 2012. On that day, I unknowingly started to generate real generational wealth. Maybe that is just dumb luck or real conviction.
I just ordered 10 New 2027 All Black Tesla Cyber trucks
I will be giving all of these away to followers tomorrow at 9pm EST!
Like and comment to be entered into the raffle!
Bill Gates visited Elon Musk at the Tesla Giga Texas factory and told him straight up: "It's impossible to have a long-range semi-truck. It doesn't work" Elon replied: "We literally have them.
Drive one yourself. Pepsi is using them RIGHT NOW" Gates just kept saying: "No, it doesn't work"
Today, Tesla Semis are hauling cargo 425+ miles for one of the biggest companies on Earth
Imagine being this confidently wrong, refusing to accept reality, and somehow the media still sells him as a "climate expert" @Tesla
I don't care what anyone says. You can even block me after this tweet.
The Eucharist is Jesus himself.
You are in the wrong "church" if you don't celebrate Mass there.
The Eucharist is not a symbol. It is Jesus in his full and entire form...Body, Blood, Soul and Divinty.
Count yourself blessed and lucky that as a Catholic, you get to partake in this great spiritual feast.
Jesus himself made it clear that this is His Body.
Not his symbol. But His Body!
Let that sink in!
