1. Fox interview: I'd have been throwing good money to keep it going just to watch the staffers' meltdown. Would have made a great sideshow.

2. Pressing question: At 79 and never having the occasion to arise, I now live in fear of its occurrence. A pox on you, I say! :-)

3. Trump in general -- I see him in a different light than years ago. More controlled and less an ass. However, I think he is now over the line in pandering. Good grief, what next? No income tax? No anything tax? Everything "free" for everyone? Nationwide door to door searches for illegals, straight to the waiting aircraft bound for repatriation wherever? Control/reduction ("half") of not only energy costs, but also food, insurance, new car prices, and on and on. To quote a shuffling vegetable, "C'mon, man."

Instead of throwing money at politicians (aside from an occasional friend) I went the other direction and saved money by getting rid of cable. Can't tell you the last time I watched cable news or read a newspaper.

Never had that happened yo me but did have a situation after college where I went in a friends bathroom and was shamed for not using spray or lighting a candle after. it traumatized me.

Agree with you that Trump does seem different. In 2016 think he was still playing a character now he just seems more at ease with who he really is.

BTW - you sound great for 79. My goal is to simply outlive Charles Bukowski who was a bar fly but lived to 73. If I make that goal - I'll set the next one.
