"Friendship is the only thing in the world concerning the usefulness of which all mankind are agreed" ~ Cicero
We are an odd household. Forty decades seperate our life experiences. The way in which each of we three were raised are as different as day and night. Still, we have forged sweet friendships. People ask me "if it is odd living with 20 something guys?" Yes, often it is just a bit odd, not just for me but probably for each of us. The youngest is just 23. The older is 26 today. They are cousins, both alike in some interesting way and both very different in equally interesting ways.
This contact keeps me mentally limber. I've learned the ways in which we use language is very different. I can hear that they are not trusting of government, police, politicians. Neither am I but we've come to distrust via foot paths. Still they are both hopeful and happy. Both believe in the future. As 20 somethings, they have no way of understanding,on a personal level, of the many ways life will throw challenges and disasters in their path. Just as well.
Both men are gear-heads. I'm making a collage that, will hopefully, demonstrate what life looks like when looking into the garage from the kitchen, so to speak...

Tell the knucklehead in the bottom picture an old man said it's easier on the back if you put the fron two wheels on jack stands when working under the hood.
Interesting arrangement, but both of you may learn and may grow from the relationship (and you can get your car repaired). Is that a Hobie I see?
