   While reading this message, I thought about Amos and Andy.   
   I'm old enough to remember hearing them on the Radio when I was a child.   
      
   Also remember listening to The Green Hornet, Buz Sawyer and a show about   
   some Pilots who flew airplanes in a squadron called "The Flying Tigers".   
      
   When our home got a Television Set I remember watching:   
      
   Captain Video, Kukla Fran and Ollie, Howdy Doody, Milton Berle(sp?),   
   and a Lady Singer who I can't recall her name.   
      
   Remembering those old shows brings grins to my face.   
      
   I like trying to get Grins from salespeople while I'm shopping in a store.   
      
   I will say things like:   
      
   "Thank You for helping me, it proves I'm not so far gone to be helped."   
      
   Because everyone has to wear masks in public the only way to tell if   
   I made the person grin is to look at their eyes and eyebrows to see if   
   I put a smile on their face.

   ... Sane?  Heck, if I was sane why would I be here?
