But he didn't reach 20. Well he probably reached 20mph, but not 20

When my ex called me on my birthday last year the conversation turned to
'how did we get so old?' She's been a medical disaster all her life and
my involvement with booze, bikes, and hot cars back in the day didn't
make either of us likely candidates to see 50.

I got a little saner over the years but she's like the Energizer Bunny.

Yeah, one silly bugger who I have know since he was a preschool kid
was texting me at 200Kmph. I did wonder why there were significant
delays in his texts and found that out later. That was before he was
even legal to drive. The bugger just told me yesterday that his license
is suspended again, when he got me to lend him $50 so he could eat.
Thats the second time in a few weeks, his parents that he lives with in
Sydney which I dont live in, are currently back where I live for a visit.
He's a bricky's labourer.
