    Thank you, pomtzu.. This is just the kind of thing I wanted to say. (Comes of being born in 1944, I guess.)

    I didn't pick up an air that it was critical of all the changes and the good old days were better... All I got was that things HAVE changed, a great deal. And that's life! As it should be and as it is.

    Some time back I went out for a while with this guy who constantly moaned about the good old days and how much better things were then. I finally said: "No painless dentistry then." Boy, did THAT ever shut him up!

    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
