“Oh, blessed a thousand times the peasant who is born, eats and dies without anybody bothering about his affairs.” — Giuseppe Verdi
(One of my favorite composers, but a bit of an out-of-touch, whiny little bitch! At least as it pertains to this comment. It’s a little like a Kardashian complaining about the paparazzi. It’s quite likely that those blessed peasants rarely had enough to eat, and lived much shorter – and much more difficult – lives than he. Be well, do good, and consider those less fortunate, friends.) — YUR

Thanks, Ken. As long as the downward trend does not continue, there should be no problem.
I just noticed something. Doesn’t this dude (Verdi portrait) look like the “Most Interesting Man in the World” from the Dos Equis commercials?
