John, Isn't the Universe all spouting out the navel of Vishnu? Ever accelerating/expanding and you can look back in time in any direction, a bit of a paradox for us all. 45 years ago one of my fellow physics majors did his undergrad thesis on relativity and the view from a moving train - told me the tops of the telephone phones rotated. Great for you on the weight loss and reaching the big 70. Keep out of trouble and the big 80 will be just around the corner. (My grandparents out-lived my parents as well - post industrial pollution?) Post some of those genealogy photos here as well. They would be interesting. As I get older, I spend more time looking back... Regards, Bob S.
