I’m getting a little sensitive about senior and elder being interchangeable terms. I turned fifty, recently. The patch itself was located some distance from the road, in a little valley. I’d done surveillance on patches in the past, and was very glad not to have to do this one. It was hot, it was dull, and it was seldom successful.
