Hi Michael,

 RH> Sounds like it had been long considered dormant but it was just
 RH> sleeping--and woke up rather abruptly. Not a usual occurance as most
 RH> eruptions give a bit of warning, even if it's not too much.

 ML> Life remains uncertain, and I was going to say something
 ML> about science, but suffice it to say that it's not perfect.

No, it's just as much of an art as most everything else. And why do your
doctors practice medicine? (G)


 RH> I didn't take to them in that manner but do prefer a print newspaper
 RH> to a tablet e-edition. Being able to see, hold, feel the paper is
 RH> better than trying to "surf" to get a full page of articles. Also helps
 RH> on the weather page if you're interested in data from several
 RH> locations, foreign and domestic--the eye travels over the print page
 RH> better than a screen that one has to scroll for data.

 ML> Depends on what you're used to. There's a generation,
 ML> maybe more, that doesn't see eye to eye with us on
 ML> this matter.

I know, we're getting to be the old fuddy duddies we disparaged in our
youth. My dad used to complain about slow drivers--that they were
usually old men wearing caps. I thought about getting him one for his
65th birthday but decided against it. He voluntarily gave up his license
a couple of years ago.


 ML> Mashed parsnips and carrots
 RH> Sounds good, we like both veggies.

 ML> I used to dislike them because of their bitterness,
 ML> but I've gotten inured to that, and I think the
 ML> vegetables themselves have been bred sweeter as
 ML> well. Of course, back when I didn't like them I had
 ML> not become appreciative of the wonders of butter.

I've drizzled them with honey, sprinkled with thyme (before the patch
got taken out by the cold last winter) and then roasted them (cut into
matchstick lenghts). Add a bit of butter at the end and it's good
eating.

 ML> Tonight, it's a progressed soft diet of baked
 ML> tilapia, mushy peas, and vanilla soymilk. Wish me
 ML> bon appetit.


Hopefully your system has been able to handle it well. Not the most
appetising meal but it beats drinking your meals. (G)
