Thank you.

For that too.

I generally try to be, until some ID10T pulls my trigger.

I think so too.  I am well aware of my eventual, and inevitable mortality, but 
I intend to keep on doing what I enjoy well past the point where the back etc 
pain would make it hard for most. I am recently doing my gcode carving from a 
comfy office chair, as opposed to standing up at the machines own keyboard. 
NFS make that a piece of cake.

I think Obamacare has the idea of benign neglect solveing the 
whadawedowithalltheseoldfarts problem. I think, despite me being exempt from 
it, that I am seeing the fallout already.  IMO that law is a virus that will 
destroy our ability to obtain medical care in the long run. For any of you, 
regardless of age.

I do generally, and I have had the ultimate revenge of having now outlived the 
only guy I ever told I would kill the next time I saw him.  I got word thru 
one of the kin grapevines that he had passed, about 4 years ago now.  I hate 
to admit it, but that did give me a resolution to his being a  classic 
example of somebody with a 2nd rectum.  A grin for a short time even. :)

Cheers, Gene Heskett
