text: "Getting harder to get old in Alaska I guess"
  This might be totally unrelated, but I saw a movie a while ago called "No Country for Old Men".  The theme I got was "devolution" if that makes sense.  The analogy with old men is lost on me at the moment and the movie is unrelated directly to aging issues if I recall..(unless you count the chances of being "just another old man" being murdered..).   It`s kind of a cult classic nail-biter that would have given me nightmares as a kid. And I was a pretty tough little street urchin.
