Like A Good Neighbor

I am still working on extending my back yard fence. With a little luck, I should be done this year - or next. One of my neighbors, Frank, a spry 86 year old, comes over and talks with me while I work. 

Today, he had been working in another neighbors’ yard and when he finished he came over to visit. And, he brought me a beer and a hand full of potato chips - literally a hand full. I graciously declined his offer so he partook himself. He said that he drinks one beer per day. That’s 365 beers per year. If he should go before his 100th birthday, he figures he will miss out on some years. So right now, he’s working on 2027.

I like Frank.
