I think it has more to do with the ones in the metro areas. Not saying all are but it seems a vast majority In these areas are. I suspect it has more to do with their upbringing than being millennials.
Mostly online, Jon. A few of the older generation will be cynical about the younger generation. Nothing new. At least as old as baseball.you say you have heard allot cliches that are neg. is that a maine thing? i'm not hearing these things in my travels here in the mid west.
“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”
--Socrates
I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on
frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond
words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and
respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise
[disrespectful] and impatient of restraint" (Hesiod, 8th century BC)
I don't have the answer, but I believe this to be additional (albeit anecdotal) evidence that Youth is so very wasted on the young.Why is it, young men make decisions as if this is the last day on Earth (and old men move as if they have all the time in the world)?
You have that right!
Thanks a lot! The boat is coming into the docks this am to get loaded up for an overnight. I plan to get some photos and check the leaking after last nights rain.Tom it's posts like yours that I enjoy the most. Your pictures and storyline are always what I look forward to on SBO forums.
Cheers
We had a good rain last night, the size of rainfall that would have required 100 strokes with the bilge pump. The boys brought her into the dock this am and rigged her to sail.Wait, that can't be the end! Did it float? Was it leak-free? Pictures or it didn't happen!
The Peapod is Harrys. It is a great little boat but needs work(mostly to fix what,...they fixed).Exciting times.
I like the peapod for a tender? It should tow well. Hardly even know it was there, so keep an eye on it.
...And I looked up 'namo', great name. Maybe a little unnerving for the dad.
