Awesome guy. Pisses me off that he had to work for Sinclair during all that bullshit.

Is 70 early for early onset? I mean, he was 66 when he retired.

It really depends on the genetics, diet, and environment of the person. It sounds early to me, but I've also heard of people younger developing early signs.

I always thought the mark was between 30-40 but before 65 is considered early. That used to be a full life there but it's hardly retirement age now.

Watching KOMO is also dangerous for mental health.

"Seattle is dying!!! Seattle is dying!!! ". Uh huh.
