My favorite story in today’s news: two elderly men in Germany went missing from their retirement home. Police were called, and the two men were found at Wacken Open Air, a days-long festival billed as the “world’s biggest heavy metal festival.” It draws about 75,000 metalheads from all over the world each year. Police believed the men traveled 25 miles to the festival by foot and public transport.
Police found the men at 3AM acting “disoriented and dazed.” I ask, what’s the problem? “Disoriented and dazed” is exactly how you’re supposed to feel after spending all day and half the night at the world’s biggest heavy metal festival. Success!
Police told the men they had to go home, but the men were reluctant to leave. In the end, they left voluntarily. Police put them in a taxi and took them back to their “home” — with a police escort, just in case they decided to jump taxi and go back to the fun.
These elderly men are my new heroes. Go for the fun! Just because you’re elderly, it doesn’t mean you’re old.
