I agree, but I wonder if my folks are normal than! My mom stopped driving when she had a stroke, but my dad's car is not a Buick, although it is amazingly drab and blah looking, a dark blue Plymouth Aclaim with no optional features other than AC. My folks won't go near a cafetaria style restaurant either. They are very health conscious. What I want to know is what genetic quirk appears in senior men that causes almost all of them to dress in drab brown pants and a drab button down shirt, with drab shoes, ALL THE TIME.
