Retired Kansas Letter Carrier still working hard at 102 years old. Wade worked as a mail carrier for 22 years at the Winfield, Kansas Post Office. He retired from the postal service on Dec. 31, 1979. Loren Wade attributed his longevity to staying active. “I never was one much for sports,” Wade said, “but I did a lot of dancing and lots of gardening.” [PR note to self: sign up for dancing lessons, learn how to keep my plastic plants from dying]

Wade still working hard at 102
with those crummy 1% pay increases, while “true inflation” (including energy and food)is 6-9% you will all be working till you are 150. pse’s are worse off. you will see this corrupt govt erode your income through inflation, enjoy your change. remember in some state the min wage is now $15…..don’t look back the poor people are at your heals lol.
Yah mon. It’s all that dancing with the younger women. And who knows what after that.
