David Weber, my favorite SF author after Robert Heinlein, is 70 now.
How in the world are we all getting this old ?

I suppose it's all relative. At 70 now, that makes him about 3.5
years younger than I am.

I am 62 and feeling 70 today. Our ten year old clothes washer in the
laundry room off the kitchen shorted out today and left the cold water
valve wide open. I looked in the kitchen while I was talking to my
wife and saw waves. I looked again and realized that the kitchen had an
inch of water in it and carefully ran into laundry room where I
disconnected the washer. So we spent most of the day cleaning up
everything. I did not know that you could stand at the back door of the
kitchen and sweep the water out but I know that now. We now have a new
Speed Queen TC5 clothes washer, I bought the last one in Houston
available up in Tomball, 48 miles from my house.

I've been there, but I ended up buying a wet/dry shop vac to part the
sea on the back porch. I dread the thought of when my current appliances
start dieing as new ones are nowhere near as good.

Political interference in medical research keeps preventing us from
developing the gerontology treatments because "it violates God's plan
for us!"

Ouch! At least you got it cleaned up, hopefully with no
structural damage.

The wife was actually using the broom out the back door and I ran to get
the wet / dry vac. No major damage.

We just bought a new house and one of the features I really like is that
the laundry room floor is recessed about an inch and there is a drain
that leads outside.
