I didn't vote for him, but I gotta hand it to the guy - just went skydiving for his 85th birthday.

Pretty darned impressive!

I have to agree. At 85, that's a heck of an accomplishment!

That's true. He did. Looked much better today than he did then - of course it was BITTERLY cold that day and cold weather does tend to affect older folks pretty harshly (probably due to their decreased circulation).

Still, I wouldn't do it - and I'm 30 years younger than Bush 1.
