My wife and I travel all over. People always warned us to watch our for NYC, Rome and Naples but you know what? Not a single problem in those cities and we are out late at night often.

Know where we have had problems? Utah! Not once but on two separate trips we’ve had our cc number stolen while there. I tend to think Utahans may not be that bright so scammers can run scams there a long, long time before getting caught. Had to have our cc canceled and new ones sent during the trips. What a pain in the butt.

hunker down in utah old man. keep on believing you’re getting “smarter”. i think old people get crankier and dumber because of aches and pain, general inflammation, and decreased blood flow, and fear, fear based on weakness…a sense that the world is slipping away, out of control, and the only way to ensure predictable safety is to bring the hammer down hard on everyone who presents any risk whatsoever.[/quote]

I think that’s part of it and part of it is that old folks get tired of seeing the world make the same stupid mistakes. We all have a different idea on what those mistakes are, but whatever their viewpoint it gets old seeing very little being learned from prior generations.
