At Least 1007

 My wonderful friend and former student Ines sent me this picture, which she snapped outside the shawarma stand across the street from the University of Jordan in Amman. The first stop on the Jordan trip was always a walk down the hill to the little stand. I'm sure I've posted this picture before, but I love it so much. Even considering the chaos engulfing the region, I wish I were sitting there right now.

The thing that is amazing about that picture is that guy is clearly at least a thousand years old, and since that picture was taken at least seven years ago, it means that ancient dude is (if my limited Hoosier math will back me up) at least 1007. That said, I could walk then, so I had that going for me.
