Pickles by Brian Crane for August 08, 2024

Flying faster as we get older.

Very true. The days are long but the weeks are short. The months might feel like eternity but blink and it’s a new year all over again.

I’ve heard it said that life is like toilet tissue. The closer you get to the end the faster it goes.

I love my gym time, met a new guy lately and told him I get to mow my lawn tonight (after sundown) I LOVE mowing my lawn, 2 days with a electric push mower and another with my TRACTOR. He said I was nuts, he hires people. He is nuts!

I know exactly what they meant.

it takes Earl four days to complete one thought?

At 79, I am on the downhill side, and picking up speed!

I remember the summers of ‘91 through ’96. They lasted around the equivalent of 20 of today’s years. Just the summers, nevermind the whole year.

They’re making years a lot shorter, nowadays. Like candy bars. They’ll say it’s for your health, but it’s all for profits.

I want my full-sized years back.

What’s scary to me is not how fast the years go by, but that I remember what happened years ago so much better than I remember what happened yesterday…

So true two thirds of the year is almost gone.

So very true, the months fly by!

“Time flies like an arrow; Fruit flies like a banana” – Groucho Marx :D

And … The Beat Goes On …

Time elapsed to finish that sentence…….2 hrs. 23 min.

Yup! The months are going by like weeks!

Another Pickles strip already?

It’s all about percentages. When you’re six, a year is half of all your memories and experiences, and it seems long. But when you’re 70, a year is 1/67.You think of something you once did, and ask, “What decade was that?”

I saw yesterday the Packer’s first preseason game is Saturday, that is always a sign of fall. Where did this summer go?

Sweet memories of Wild Strawberries.

As the days dwindle down to a precious few…

The Last of the Summer Wine.

When you’re a kid the hours go by fast but the days drag by. When you’re old the hours go by slowly and the years fly by.

The details of our lives might be recorded by far-future archivists and made available for entertainment toward Earth’s jaded citizens. Will your life be a comedy, a tragedy … or an in-between soap opera? (—

After I retired, the expression “Thank Goodness It’s Friday” means nothing anymore, and has been replaced with “I Can’t Believe It’s Friday Again Already.”

I started beginning my sentences with, “Have I ever told you…” because it seems I’ve begun repeating myself much like today’s comic.

I know exactly what he means, seems like the older I get[I am 74]the faster the days and weeks seem to fly by. Its already Thursday and seems like just yesterday it was June.

They go by so fast now I’m retired that I often forget what day it is.

Wow – they move FAST.!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m one of those superannuated individuals and I’ve noticed that the days are flying by. Sad to see summer whizzing by to be replaced by leaf raking, snow shoveling and uncomfortably cold and wet weather, subjectively, very soon. Makes me think sometimes that I’m accelerating to the end of the line. At the speed I’ll be going by then, the collision should be epic.

I’ve always felt that once you are over the hill time speeds up because you’re going downhill.

That is so true! Each week to this 83 year old seems like two days. Time drags for kids, who have all the time in the world ahead, while it just zips by for us old folks. Doesn’t seem fair, but that’s the way it is.

As we age, we all come to realize that………..

Indeed.

Is that why they’re wearing different outfits in each panel?

Time’s Paces

When I was a babe and wept and slept,Time crept;When I was a boy and laughed and talked,Time walked.Then when the years saw me a man,Time ran.But as I older grew,Time flew.Soon, as I journey on,I’ll find time gone.May Christ have saved my soul, by then,

Amen.

But they had time to change clothes three times?

I was thinking the very same thing this morning. How can we already be over a week into August?

Before we know it, it’ll be Christmas time!

Why are y are the men dressed differently in each frame?

But how long will you remember?

I woke up one day and was in my 60’s, holy hell what happened to the last 40 years? Now my high schoo classmates show up in the obits and I wonder. Im a fortunate man.

My work days are long. And yet I’m stunned it’s Thursday evening.

I have found that the perception of time is inversely proportional to your age.

Hasn’t anyone noticed that both old guys are wearing different clothes in each panel?… to illustrate how time flies, I guess!!!
