Litton was/is big in electronics and a major defense contractor/supplier
or radar, sonar and radio equipment, The quality of that unit was most
excellent. In 1976 mom paid around U$800 for it. That works out to
U$4400 today. For that kind of treasure it *should*n have been (and
was) top drawer.

I've been ive forever. My main drink, at home, is a tall glass of iced
water with a shot of lemon juice to give it a little flavour.

I've got a gas furnace and water heater. But, since it was built on a
slab rather than a basement or crawl space it would be very difficult
to pipe gas to a stove.

I do my supplements and medications (other than the inhalers) mostly as
pills/capsules. No gummies. I don't think they make a senior multivitamon
