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.

Do you remember the partes tres? Belgium, Aquitaine, and
the third evades my memory.

Still comes in handy every so often; that and an extensive,

ecclectic > reading background.
It takes a Latin background to understand
doctors, oftentimes.

True.

Greek helps at times.

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.

Interesting. I did a year or so of Classic Greek,
which turned out to be useless in modern Greece.

Sounds like somebody needs to popularise a low sodium seasoning.

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

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

Some of us have to be more careful.

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

Become a ward of the state?

I'd rather die.

Don't have many other options tho.

That is a perfectly okay option.

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.

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

Wouldn't make much sense to unless you were
catering a critter.

Hi Michael,

Didn't remember off the top of my head so did a quick Google look up.
Third group was the Celts.

which turned out to be useless in modern Greece.

We found the modern Hebrew written with more curves than the ancient. By
the end of our (one week) trip, Steve was able to read it somewhat--he'd
only had one semester of it at that point. Most places were either bi or
multi lingual anyway so it wasn't really needed.

I know, more of us should be, than do so in reality.

As long as you're at peace with it, no problem (except that we'd miss
you).

And, since my pulmonologists have agreed that it's better that I don't
have one, I'll not buy critter chow.

Wonder how using some stevia for part of the sugar would work. ketchup
has sugar in it so if I can cut it otherwise, it would be better for me.
