Altogether, in many respects, unbeatable. We really, really do have it pretty good. Why all the rush to "improve"? After all, you do know, don't you, that the greatest single cause of problems in the world today is -- you guessed it, *solutions*? [For real. Check it out.] Enjoy the rest of the weekend -- unless you happen to be in a part of the world where it's over already, in which case just consider you have a head start on the rest of us on next weekend.
