Tim, 
Good on you my friend for that comment,  as too many people lose life
simply because they let the age crap get in the way of doing things
because "at your age you can't do that!"

In reality that was back in the time of Queen Elizabeth I, not today. If
you feel you can do it or want to do picture taking,  damn well take the
camera and go do it! Don't accept this bull sh...t about you're too old!

There are a number of "Mature" folks on the LUG/LEG and none of us
should be shy to go out and do street or whatever turns us on in the use
our leica's.  Heck always keep in mind Esie didn't go to the big
darkroom in the sky until 96,  even at that age he went out and snapped
away doing something he loved with great passion, being a photographer! 
Even though he had a sight problem  and it was only the range finder of
the Leica that allowed him to do what he loved.

God bless all you "mature " guys & gals, keep on shooting and screw the
"too old crap!"
