Hi, Pat.

My VA Audiologist actually advised me to wear earmuffs if I mowed
the lawn to protect what little hearing remains.  (But I guess we
weren't speaking of normal hearing.)  This was wonderful advice.
I convinved my significant other SHE should mow the lawn. :-)

Re: Smoking.  Dave Barry reports that the Federal Aviation Admin.
now OKs smoking on all flights where two or more engines have
failed. :-)
