ONE BRIGHT SPOT

Wednesday night I listen to what I hope will be the last Republican debate. I have come to a conclusion that if I were to vote for a Republican; Paul is out of touch in foreign policy and to much impressed with himself while Gingrich, and Santorium for various reasons are too dangerous in regards to personal civil rights to be President. That leaves Romney for whom the Reactive Far Right Republicans have no use. Understanding that he is no different than 99.9% of politicians is needed to even accept him.

We will watch with interest Super Tuesday's delegate selections. There is still a possibility that the GOP will have a "Brokered Convention" and their Nominee will be none of the above four. At this point though I am still looking for a Romney;Christie ticket to oppose and run far behind Obama.

Despite all the depressing events locally, nationally and in the world; there are some bright spots that can give pleasure.

One in this photo taken at sunrise by my son from his hotel room overlooking the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. As with all blog photos, clicking on it will enlarge the picture.

Some may not consider this a "Bright Spot" but having looked up the actuarial tables as of today my life expectancy is 10.2 years. Thus if I make 2022 I will then have a life expectancy of 5.5 years or midway through 2027. At that point the odds are for another 3.9 years or 2031. at which point I am good for 2.9 years and after that about a biannual increase.

Don't worry, somewhere along this long trail I shall most likely loose interest in writing a blog. The computers of that decade will be too small for my klutzy fingers.

Since the insurance companies for health and/or life are like casinos in business to make money, they want the odds to be on their side. The premiums are largely based on these tables and no life insurance companuy has gone broke from policy losses.
