Todays seniors may have lost some or all of their hair but thats no big deal compared to tomorrows seniors who will have to deal with their sagging and blurry tattoos that will make them look like they have some contagious skin disease. Yeah, I know (mostly) men in the military like the Navy have had them for years as a badge of honor (or maybe a night on the town during leave) but today it’s hard so spot many of the younger generation who have them plastered all over. With hair you can always get a haircut like many did as get older on whatever is left on your head, tattoos are a bit harder to have to deal with as you get older. By the way, I still have my mustache that I grew back in the early 70’s, a bit more grayer and a lot more trimmed than what it used to be.
My oldest brother was adopted. When he was 15 or 16, we had gone to a family reunion on my dad’s side. My brother had thick, long hair. This was in the 70s. As he looked around at ALL of the men with their bald or balding heads, he made the statement, jokingly, that he was glad he was adopted so he wouldn’t inherit the balding gene. As life would have it, when he passed away in 1988 at the age of 32, he was already losing his hair and had a bald spot on the top.
