At age 111, America's oldest veteran is still smoking cigars, drinking whiskey and loving life.

Jess - Any chance you'll make it to Inzane? Would really like to meet you and share an adult beverage or two...

He was in Austin before it became Californicated.

Have to watch those cigars, they'll kill ya!     My hat's off to that gentleman, just imagine what he's seen and experienced. Born in 1906, same year as my dad who left us at 93. But, he didn't smoke or drink whiskey....probably why he only lived to 93.

How come a post about a hundred year old guy makes you think about having a drink with Jess ?    (just messing with you Jess)

When we get to a post about dinosaur fossils I'll lament that you're not planning on making it to Inzane this year...

Just don't make it public. I couldn't handle the humiliation.

So would I, but sadly no, it's too far for me.  And I am a stand in to take care of my mom up in MI after her heart surgery and blood thinner brain bleed.  My brother and his wife have been at it full time, and I will be going up to give them a break.... and see her.  I cannot be out of pocket for two weeks or more right now.
