After Triton Cove resident James Aylesworth turned 100, his niece drove him to the Navy recruiting office in Silverdale, where the World War II veteran offered to re-enlist. He didn't want to be paid, he explained. He specifically wants to help the Ukrainians fight the Russians in any capacity he can. "I want to help my country no matter how damn old I am," he said. The recruiter never followed up with a promised reason for rejecting his offer, Aylesworth said. Since then, he turned 101 and...

I've been known to accumulate free materials towards an indistinct future use. Some call that "hoarding." At one point it was scraps of Kevlar. At another, 55 gallon drums.
