At one point, what you read in it today was mandated by a King, his proof
readers, etc.. Everyone involved had their own opinion of what is written
there.

Instead of canceling it, they should have switched it to days. I worked
nights all the time it was on TV and there weren't any VCRs in those days.
At least none that I could afford. I ended up watching movies on Channel 5
out of L.A. in those days, if I watched any TV at all. I never got to see
one episode of ST until they brought it back.

I was made to attend church, aka Sunday school until I was 12 years old.
My dad's uncle Mic was the pastor there and was very disappointed when I
was given the choice to continue or quit. And I was a 'star' pupil in my
SS class...the teacher btw, was the yet to be elected mayor of our town.
A hundred years later, my wife taught that same class in Sabboth school
and I was again the star pupil. NOT!

I was once called a 'jack of all trades' by a co-worker while he was
talking about me with the boss. I wish...
