     @stevewfolds ~ I have been rather taken aback at the decline since Reagan. He must have salted the water with ignorance. I feel now to pass the SAT exam you may only have to show up sober.

     @bmacDonald94 A dear departed friend and mentor of 43 years was a math prof. He said that a PHD thesis 10 years ago would not have been accepted as an MS thesis in late ‘60s.
     His webpage is still up. Partial Differential Calculus & Lineral Algebra textbook & teaching guide.

     @annesettanni ~ I am afraid you are right. The opposite seems true with that flophouse. Thanks for the comment. ❤️
