Meet Mike Rubbo and his ebike

________________even better, if that's possible: meet his late best friend,
Olive, age 107 here: world's most senior video blogger. Mike made her known to the whole world.
I miss Olive, like I'd miss a grandmother. Millions of us keep Olive close to our hearts.
Listen to her talk about the life and times, taking her young son to the doctor, via bicycle,
IN 1930, all as fresh as if it were yesterday. EMERGENCY trip. On a bicycle, miles, and miles

Incensed that her own, that is, Olive's mother, had done nothing for little Barney,
whilst Olive was at work. Barney's earache was, that day, going critically painful.
So Olive got home from work, took in the news, became a Super Mom, borrowed a Brother's bike,
and rode her little boy along miles of rough roads, to first aid.

And the doctor noted, it was all done just in time, he says, says he,
"...you're a brave little mother and your son is a brave little soldier..."

No charge...

"I like to pay me way, if you don't mind...."


And sirs, she paid her way all the way through a very long and good life, of over 108 years.

Thank you, Mr. Rubbo, for all this and much more, if you see this posting,
or if you don't: vibrations of caring people might just reach even the now-late Barney's ear,
poetically speaking

Olive riley went back to broken Hill at the age of 104
and during the trip she found the grave of her beloved elder sister, Emma,
who'd died young.

At the end of the clip, a girl who Olive remarked resembled Emma,
plays the part of the dead sister, helping Olive come to terms with loss.

Emma died in 1905; one full century before Olive could visit Emma again.
All those decades, though, would not ease any of the pain.
