    Yes. I'll take the heat of the sun to the alternative thanks. Well at least for now. 🤔

    Of Course one can only tell from ones Point of Knowledge now. We can't know what we will know later.

    This is why it absolutely nonsensical to tell Youngsters: "You will see it when you are my age".

    You may even see things differently again when you become Andy's age! 😉

    Trying to predict the future is an idle exercise. I agree with Pondy.

    Andy, tell me that you think the same way you did lets say 40 years ago!

    I can predict with certainty that you or I will not be around in 40 years from now!

    Predictions have no meaning if you move beyond the realm of possibility.

    On the other hand, you could survive, theoretically, until the age of 110 or more.

    Come on Andy be realistic about this you think your going to live to be 110 or I am for that matter? I'll be lucky to reach your age, which is compliment by the way before you take it the wrong way!

    No I ackowledge the FACT I will not live to 110 and I don't assume you will either. That is being realistic, Andy.

    I am most likely older than you at 78 and the thing I see for me is I write tunes for guitar, mandolin and keyboards and started a soundcloud account back when I was a young pup of 75 but I continue to surprise myself, have 100 tracks there now, more than a half gig of MP3 files which would be more like 5 gigabytes of WAV files, 70 of my own compositions there now and the rest traditional old time American and Irish tunes.
    So for me I have gotten more creative than ever before in my short life.
