=====================
 GJ> There are risks to one's financial state, and also to one's physical
 GJ> good health. Sometimes these are contra-indicated.  One needs balance.

I don't see the necessity of balance. In foods, both in the micro
sense of a particular dish and in the macro sense of a meal, balance
is often extolled, but for me a wholly savory and proteinous meal,
with some salt and no sweetness, sourness, or bitterness is the
ideal, one that I could relive fifty thousand times in my life.

 GJ> When living in the tropics, I prefered minimum cooling in my office,
 GJ> which reduced the thermal shock of moving to and from the steaming hot
 GJ> outdoors.

There are those who relish the sensory shock. I certainly do.

   Some people liked to keep their offices at near freezing,
 GJ> forcing occupants to wear coats and ties.  They seemed to look upon a
 GJ> strongly cooled office as some form of status symbol.  That was in the
 GJ> days when there was lots of electricity around, with no thoughts of
 GJ> CO2 generation.

It strikes me that with thought of electricity and CO2 a strongly
cooled office is even more a status symbol.

 ML> It doesn't make it too well, as I spend only 1% of my time
 ML> engaged in such energetic motions. The other 99% is spent
 ML> seeking out well-oiledness of other sorts.
 GJ> I envy you that 1%.

Doing the math, I believe it's only 1% of my waking life. There
were years when it exceeded 2% of my entire time, but those days
are past. I certainly hope that 1% is not unattainable for you.

 GJ> I hope that USAn tendency to SO every halfway reasonable artist
 GJ> doesn't spread to here.

I am not a great proponent of many of these US phenomena, from
standing ovations to tipping, but when in Rome, if you don't do
as the Romans do, be sure to keep your head down.

 GJ> I have seen some USAn pennies which seem to have been made of some
 GJ> type of copper coated plastic.

Actually, still all metal. According to usmint.gov,
 The alloy remained 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc
 until 1982, when the composition was changed to 97.5
 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper (copper-plated zinc).
 Cents of both compositions appeared in that year.
