That reminds me of the interior of the Millennium Falcon.

Farmers of yore, anyway.

When I was making a lot of first responder calls in my rural brush patch of Texas, there was a sharp demarcation in behavior between the old ladies of the World War II generation and their daughters. It was always the daughters and grand-daughters that called to have their mothers transported to the hospital for whatever reason. The old ladies were generally annoyed with her daughters, apologetic to us (EMTs) for dragging us out, and not at all happy with all the fuss.

it was mostly old ladies because the old men didnt live as long. Their surviving wives were tough old birds and were not about to call 911 for something simple like fainting and falling down three days in a row or heart palpitations or whatever. Also they seldom had any medications to speak of, and haven’t been in the hospital since they gave birth to the last child.

Their daughters on the other hand would call 911 at the drop of a pill, and usually had a lot of pills already prescribed, and much more drama accompanied the visit.

I did visit one old fellow, definitely the wiry rancher type, somewhere in his 80s, who lived on a back road that was named after his immigrant German grandfather. He was sitting back in a recliner with all his grown kids and grandkids and great grandkids and cousins and everybody else hovering around worrying. Which obviously pissed him off.

I asked him what had happened, and he said he fell out of a tree. I asked him why he climbed a tree, and he said he went out to scout deer for the hunting season that was coming up.

turns out he was climbing down slipped and fell about 6 feet onto his back. All his vitals were good, the paramedics couldn’t find any particularly tender areas that might indicate a broken whatever, and he ultimately refused transport to the hospital, but agreed to go see his doctor, which his oldest daughter promised would happen.

I remember when my mom's dad fell out of an apple tree in his back yard at 88 years old. He had climbed the tree to pick apples. He didn't go to the hospital either.

40 yrs ago that would have looked like fun, now it looks like a week in traction.

I found out the same first time I went golfing. I'm not ever making that mistake again.

When my mother (World War II gal) had an geriatric cat that got stuck on the roof, because the cat realized she was now too old now to jump to the tree she always used before, my 75-year-old mom got the ladder out and rescued the cat, instead of calling one of her grandsons to do it. Happily mom didn’t fall off.

Grandpa was born in 1879... so pre WWI.

I was a Moot Court, not a Law Review guy.

Savage taunt by Law Review: "Moot" means meaningless.

Savage Moot Court retort: "Right honing argument skills that I will use my entire career is soooo much less important that spending a year on a paper that may or may not be published, but regardless will be put on a shelf to gather dust forever."

...after all, we're the ones who learned to think on our feet.
