Yep, based on the Chinese zodiac, 2020 is the Year of the Rat. I suppose there are all kinds of jokes, organized crime and otherwise, that could be made of that, but let’s set all that aside. Good buddy Baja John (who wrote to me from Bahia de Los Angeles in Baja just a few days ago) had this much better suggestion:
Hey Joe,
So, I’m calling this year the “Year of Hindsight.” I was thinking that might be good fodder for a blog entry. Lessons to pass to younger readers or lessons that have helped you live happier in your senior years. Who knows. Popped into my head and thought I’d share.
John
I think that’s a grand idea, John, and I’m hoping our readers do, too. Hey, it’s 2020, and everyone knows that hindsight is 20-20. So, to all our readers (and our year end report tells us that our key demographic for ExhaustNotes readership is men aged 55 and over), you have the benefit of years of experience in all kinds of things. Let’s have your comments, please. What advice on any topic (love, life, money, politics, 9mm vs. .45, motorcycles, whatever) would you give younger folks?
