[imgbelt img=106.png]We just liked Jim Etter’s story about Ruben Hopper today.  Hopper is 106 years old and he still gardens in Pawnee County, with the help of his 79-year-old son Bob. His motto: “Always work hard, and raise plenty of vegetables to eat.”Well, there’s more to it than that. First, there’s poker. Ruben plays — small stakes only and none of that casino gambling. And, “I never did smoke,” he said, “but I did drink a lot of that moonshine.” He didn’t visit a doctor until he was 94. Now he takes “two dizzy pills and two aspirins a day.” And eats lots of vegetable — potatoes, squash, okra, melons.And no cholesterol, either.
