True.

Greek helps at times.

I'm of course a little careful about the salt and
have to remember to tell them to go easy on the
rub when I order. It's become the fashion to
overseason, even at the higher-end places.

Sounds like somebody needs to popularise a low sodium seasoning.

Somebody has to be reminded to tell the kitchen to
lay off the salt.

I wonder what happens if I survive past my
money running out.

I'd rather die.

Here, the cat food is only of the finest, and
I was doing dinner prep while Carol was feeding
the furry feline friends, and the food smelled
just like ventresca, I swear.

I don't know, canned cat/dog food has a certain aroma about it that
gives it away, IMO. But, we never bought the super high end stuff for
any of our critters; maybe that does smell better.

That was the impression I was intending to convey.

Hi Michael,

years > ML> after it > was written.

One would think so, but there are volumes he was credited
with that were written at odd times, including after he
had been killed. Thus it is with famous people; the nonsense
outlives them, but the good is oft interred with their bones.

In this case, his commentaries have lived on, for Latin students of many generations to read. I still remember the opening line, in Latin (and
the translation), tho it's been many years since I had to read it.

importance certainly was. An amusing image is put in

Agreed, but not as often as Latin, IMO. Steve suffered thru Greek in seminary--thought Hebrew would be harder but turned out that the Greek
was. His exposure to Arabic actually helped him with the Hebrew in that
the reading right to left is common to both languages.

That would be a help but doubt it would catch on as we like our salt too
much.

money running out.

Don't have many other options tho.

OK, but I'm not going to buy any, just to give it the smell test. (G)
