"And how few people there are who can still mathematics without a computer."

No shit. forty years ago you could have asked me what was 107 times 42 and I would have an answer before someone else could even get heir calculator out of their pocket.

but I am losing it, and I mean really losing it. I am having trouble understanding schematics and all that as well. My mind is not as sharp as it used to be. I would still pit it against the average "Man on the street" but I know I ain't what I once was.

So I guess y'all will have to bear with me until I meet with some sort of fate. Sorry. But I do know it, it's just that now I am more loquacious and opinionated.
