I'm reminded of...
an old phrase my mother used to say; when speaking of someone who was not able to see the truth.
It went: " He was blind in one eye and couldn't see out of the other and not being able to find his eyes, he stuck his fingers in his ears." I guess that as long as you can still recognize the truth, you aren't so bad off. Not much in the way of a story here, more like a rant against getting old. ~ Gee.

This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
