Ride off into the sunset. Fade away. On this, my 144th birthday.<br />
<br />
From where the sun now stands I will post no more, forever.<br />
<br />
I have become too old. And sodded. There comes a time when the pontifications cease to sparkle, and the links lose their luster, and the online blogger forum becomes a prison and all that is left is an old man's range time. And heaven.<br />
