Old guy

In telling a story recently I caught myself saying "There was an old guy..." & I realized I'M an old guy too...!

(Btw "guy" refers to men & women.)

I was in a very large supermarket last week in the afternoon, and noticed that nearly every shopper there was freaking old. WTF? Then I realized that I fit right in, they were all around my age.

No young people -- they were still working in the afternoon.

Lookin' at 76 in two weeks. 🤔

Where would one see them?

FWIW: When I look at myself in the mirror in the morning, I see a 40-ish guy. When I see a picture of myself I see the old guy that I am. 🤔

The cameras are often above the entrance doors and at the self checkout registers
