The Buckets by Greg Cravens for May 18, 2015

Me neither.

That realization never gets any better.

It’s been awhile, but I think I remember it being around a 40% chance of a male teenager living past their 65th birthday.

I’ll be turning 60 in a few weeks and I’m suddenly feeling it.

Doc, the next 7-10 years aren’t so bad. Then in the 60s any old injuries you forgot about come knocking at the door.

Remember the Beatles song “When I’m 64” ? Just arrived there this month.

I am at my three score and ten (70) and am thankful to the LORD for every day and the fact that HE gives me the ability to not only take care of myself, but also my wife (and the chickens and dogs).<><me

I am 66 and am sometime surprised that I am 66.

Sorry Toby.

The balloon in panel three could have been extended to the right to avoid overlapping the art. And should have been. This is just careless.

Growing old beats the alternative.

I’m 20 and it’s really strange to know that I’m going to get old one day.

It can come as slowly as it can. I’d rather it didn’t come at all but you can’t have everything.

I’m 73, and in better health and fitness than I was at 60, when I retired. Took a mild heart attack to make me take my health seriously. My father died at 61, of a serious heart attack.
