No. 50's, but he also appeared to be foreign born... either Spain or South America, so maybe new to it here in Texas.
I am foreign born - in an Islamic country no less (Casablanca, Morocco) - but you wouldn’t know it to look at me. I look more “off-planet” than “foreign”.G26ster wrote: Sat Jul 07, 2018 2:30 pm Abraham. if your post was directed at me, it has nothing to do with pc-nis. The op did not say the man uttered a word, so my interpretation of "appearance" was based on visuals, hence my question. The op answed and clarified. If you were judging my children and granddaughter by looks to determine if they were foreign born, you'd be right in two cases, and wrong in one case. How someone looks is not a reliable determination of whether someone is native to the country they are in. That includes wearing white tennis shoesBesides, I'm your elder so I'm right

Just saw your post and no, my post wasn't directed 'at' anyone.
I am curious and I think you were joshing, but how do you know you're older than me?
Here's a hint at how old I am: My daughter today the 6th is her 50th birthday.
We're both delighted and weirded out - 50, my kid?
Weird.
I just took a SWAG. My son is 53 and may daughter is 52. I'm 76. Of course I was joshing, and I'm a fellow member of the curmudgeon club.
