          No need to have a good response. I’m with you in being a bit weirded out by it. I just felt I shouldn’t be alone in my state of being weirded out by this.

    Rowing or swimming. As long as I’m not trying to be world record level, I won’t be ruining my body. If I’m just training as much as they do, it won’t be much worse than a full time job.

    I would have picked skydiving, but the lead exposure is a little too much for me to want to do it as a 10 jumps a day type of job.

        As the other fellow said, it’s the jet fuel. They still use leaded gas. You can definitely smell the difference between it and normal exhaust fumes.

        When you retire, you go play randomly at courses & clean up on friendly wagers. That way you can stay fluid in retirement.
