Joe,

 JM>   Like stores that move things all over the place and where you brought
 JM> X they were now selling Y and X was somewhere else.  I hate when they
 JM> do that. Its to keep people in the store longer hoping they will buy
 JM> more.

  Been there, done that, got the wardrobe. I didn't go to the store to also 
get exercise...but I have to wonder if it's as expensive as a visit to the 
gym, the way prices are going lately. :P

 JM>   I like to joke that at my age nothing much surprises me any longer.

  I say that, but every so often, something happens...and I can hear my late
wife as clear as day saying either "Say Who What Huh??", or "Gag Me A Goat 
With A Triple Backhoe" (she had a way with words). :P Duct tape can't fix 
stupid, but it helps masks the noise. Also, Silence is Golden, but Duct Tape
Is Silver. 

 JM>   I went on the bus just once, and that was enough.

  I rode Greyhound from North Little Rock, Arkansas to Huntsville, Alabama
for a ham radio event a few years ago. We had stops in Memphis and Nashville,
Tennessee...and I had a layover to change buses in Nashville. On the way
back, my relatives who live there, picked me up, and we went out to an area
White Castle restaurant for lunch of their "gut grenades", and I spent some
time with them at their house, before they took me back to the bus station.

  But, there was so little leg room, that my legs basically turned to water,
as they stiffened up. When I went to stand up, I nearly fell...but my pants
did. Had I not had Depends on, it would've been "full moon rising" (never
mind "Bad Moon Rising" by Credence Clearwater Revival). When I traveled, I
preferred going Amtrak, as I had a lot more leg room to stretch out, whether
in coach or sleeping car. But, health and finances have ended all travel
outside of central Arkansas.

 JM>   I was born in 1950.

  Beat me by 10 years...yet in some circles, I'm still "a puppy"...but, I'm
weaned and toilet trained. :P

... Are cranberries healthy?? I never heard one complain.
