Something Old

A 2003 New York Times article about the unusually long lives of rural North Dakotans:

North Dakota Town's Payoff For Hard Lives Is A Long Life

Three conclusions:

  1. A dull life can be a very long life.
  2. Old German farmers who lived through the Depression, drought, hunger could whip my office-job ass without raising their heart rates.
  3. Canned sausage?
