Over the Hill

As yesterday was my 65th birthday I am now solidly in the ranks of the senior citizens or as I insist “seasoned citizens. This morning I was exposed to my future. I am sitting in a Panera’s Bakery (for those unfamiliar they are more than a bakery, they offer breakfast, lunch, Internet etc.). An older couple just walked in, the women to the counter and the man to a table. I glance over and notice he has walked in with a Panera coffee cup which his slyly had hidden in his hat. :sneaky:
As the women comes from the counter with a muffin and empty coffee cup to fill he moves from the table and fills his contraband cup as well. Is he cheap, a crook, senile or just, well a seasoned citizen? God help me. :rolleyes:
The irony is that at Panera’s the refills are free so you can drink as much as you want, which of course I do each morning, but heck I do buy a new cup each day. :wah:
