   Good morning.
   
   My thanks to all who took the time to reply to me yesterday.

   You are correct, the buttons just didn’t appear. Another odd thing was happening too, some or all of the posts were showing up in bold font. I did not deliberately set anything to “bold.”
   
   I think I’ll send an email off to Gocomics and see what they say. I must say they’ve answered the 3 I’ve sent them thus far quite quickly.

   Okay. I said I’d talk about wisdom, and my adviser is Robert A. Heinlein.
   >>>>>>
   First of all, just because someone’s been around for a long time does not mean they’ve got wisdom. I’ve known some old folks who I will kindly call “unaware”.

   Experience, they say, brings wisdom. This is true. Experience does bring wisdom. Experience is a wonderful teacher, but unfortunately everyone isn’t a good pupii. Some see the effect, but don’t recognise the cause.
   They burn their hand on a hot pot over and over and all they know is that they just burnt therir hand again.

   For the young it isn’t always dumb so much as it is a lack of knowledge that they have yet to learn.
   Wisdom comes from surviving the experience and learning from it.
   Cause and effect, Learn why it happened..

   Good morning, Vagabonds. Now that I’m making progress on my copying my VHS tapes and have more room, I’ve made big changes in my room. Since my entire apartment is wi-fi. I’ve put my laptop bedside. I don’t know if this is a good idea (sometimes people Skyped me while I’m napping and I didn’t here them) – I will try this out.

   I presume you are referring to Santa Anna’s assault on the Alamo.

    Good Morning, Everyone,
    Lots of errands to run today. Time to take my tune tour and have my yogurt and run.

    Good morning, Vagabonds.
    

    
    Slim, Heinlein is also one of my favorite Sci-Fi authors. Between him and Asimov (and sometimes Clark) I have had many happy hours with my nose buried in a book. My favorite Heinlein book is “Time Enough for Love”, especially the “bits of wisdom” from Lazarus Long. (Asimov: The Foundation Series, of course and Clark: A short story called “The Star”)
    

    
    Arye, Happy 2 days before birthday!
    

    
    Yesterday I got out of the house for the first time in a week, and was none the worse for wear for it. Still a bit congested with an occasional dry cough, but mostly over this thing.
