Hi Jim, now that was a dark and gloomy message on a beautiful sunny day, with a street full of people and me just swung into a big building, all new and modern, with a great big wooden seat for me to sit and type. It's carved out of one big log; very modern artish for a marble, glass and stainless steel building. Here on Queen Street, Auckland, all I see is swarms of boundless youthful optimism, energy and purpose. Fading though I am, I can enjoy the sight. It's springtime, so it's not surprising I suppose. I wonder what it'll look like in May as the nights draw in to cold, dark and wet. I'm typing on my brand new RoamAD 802.11b gizmo, wirelessly into cyberspace. Come and visit me in my new cyberhouse: Subject 53383 Notice the environmentally-sensitive green colour! Off I go, back into the swarm of people, to see if my signal is strong. Best wishes and may your well be forever sweet. Mqurice

Jim, in my province in Canada, it is not so easy to get a family physician. There are numerous people without one. I phoned one that i heard was excellent with the intent of maybe switching to a younger, less burned out doc and was told he was full up. Our hospitals are practically ghost towns on the weekend (don't get sick till Monday, ok). For an elderly person to stay in their home they were promised home care, which is now cut back and so bureaucratic that one expects to be "cut off" and told to "do it yourself"...people need $ to stay in their homes, to pay for help to keep going...i'm thinking that more and more people will be needing to mortgage their homes for such care, which is okay for those who bought 20 years ago and have a lot of equity or the house is paid off...but what about this generation when they get on ? they may only have a small percent of the house paid off, and thus have less to mortgage when their time comes...gosh it is depressing... most people have their head in the sand...
