Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for October 07, 2023

His favorite……plopping his hind end on a park bench and wasting the day away!

And how much does it pay?

Okay “Mr. Natural”.

He never works – he loves it!

He loves sleeping on park benches and begging.

Same for me but I do it in a pool hall hustling suckers. (Pays well)

He is just drying in the cold sun.

A fixture in Central Park!

It doesn’t sound like rocket science.

“Well, I got no job to go to,

I don’t work and I don’t get paid;

I got a bottle of wine, I’m feelin’ fine,

And I believe I got it made."

—Jerry Lieber (R.I.P.)

Me too, I’m retired. Best job I’ve ever had and I’m fully qualified.

The beard hides the snots running down his nose.

Retired, invested well when I worked, so every day is Saturday. House is paid for and all the vehicles. Hope you do as well. and life will be beautiful. second marriage works for 30 years now.

I was lucky enough to be in a field that was fun. My mentor used to say what we did was Advanced Sandbox, and so in a way it was, but I never hated to go to work. Even though I am officially retired, I still enjoy helping out where I can. My area is neurochemistry, and every project is like a murder mystery you have to figure out.
