    Baby boom generation ended in 1964. Retirement age for full social security benefits for people born between 1960-1964 is 67 years. Someone born in 1960 has slightly more than two years until full retirement age. Most boomers were/are not c-suite executives. Most boomers will rely heavily on social security benefits.
    Unfathomable why so many boomers are enthralled by the candidate/party that want to destroy social security. Something something, no war but class war.




  • I work in a salt marshes and traverse mud flats regularly, your take is correct, stilts could slide too deep and be exceedingly difficult to retrieve. This is a general statement YMMV (your marsh may vary) Stilts could potentially sink so deep as to exceed the legs range of motion and be impossible to extract, especially if both stilts sink in. Look at the feet of birds who live in marshes, they have oversized feet (like, as you said, snowshoes) to stay on top, avoid sinking in. Stilts advantage would allow seeing further in flat terrain.
