We like to think of our country as the foremost peaceloving country in the history
of the world. But are we? In my lifetime (I'm 86),I have been influenced by WW I,
WW II. Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Afghanistan, Iraq, it never stops. I love my country, and indeed I flew 44 missions in WWII.
Add our passion for fire arms, compare our murder statistics with the rest of the world. I submit: we are an extremely war like nation.
I have no solution.

The years go by!

When we moved to Fl. and I went to work for Merrill, I got entranced with the idea of the computer. I bought my first about 1973. DOS was about all there was!
I put my accounts and prospects on it in files, and began to shower my sec. with labels and ideas on paper! They were my entry to the computer world. I'm now on about my 11th computer, and I just bought an I-pad! What a machine!
I bought it more or less just for reading books, and for this it is fabulous. I can't read small print any more and this is just right.Finding and downloading books is a cup of tea. But I'm finding the machine will do much more. It is rigged for wi fi, and any place with wi-fi, and there are lots of them, the machine becomes a small computer. It is easy to use, but I have to learn all it's features. What a kick for an old man! It's a new life!
More later as I learn it's ins and outs!
