  Times have changed. When I was in grade school, one day I took my 
rifle to school to show it off. It was a cut down single shot .22 rifle 
that was cut down to fit a small person,  such as my older brother. When 
he outgrew it, I got it.
  No one at school thought anything wrong with this. However, when I got 
home and Dad found out. He told me that it was probably  not a good idea 
to do this. He suggested I don't repeat this activity.
  He was pretty good at seeing the future of this country. Even what we 
see now, a little more than fifty years later.
  I suppose I should get the updated clock driver for OS9, because 
someone might figure the old clock module might bring aircraft down or 
shut down our power company. For sure, I should keep quiet about it 
insisting this is 1915.
