Turning 30
I was having trouble with the idea of turning 30 and was oversensitive to any signs of advancing age. When I found a prominent gray hair in my bangs, I pointed to my forehead.

So it came as no big surprise that, after a series of painfully comic accidents, a new policy was announced, saying in summary, “Soldiers shall no longer salute officers who are engaged in the riding of a bicycle.”
