Good Morning! I am still in a state of shock over what happened in Las Vegas. Last night Petra and I wanted to pay our respect to the victims and those left behind. We went to our church for a silent prayers and lit a few candles. Now those close to us know that we are no church people and even are not members of a congregation, but there is no better place in our town than the peaceful atmosphere of our church for thoughts of sadness, but also deliverance. It´s not a really old place of worship, being built in 1874 on the site of the first church, which was erected in the 11th century. Yes, our little community was founded over 1,000 years ago! Today is a day of mourning, so we will pause in our tour of Switzerland. I hope you´ll understand. [quote user="cudaken"]Little worried about Job Security. Marv the 85 year old owner is having open heart sugery Monday. Seems he needs a heart valve replaced. From what I under stand if he was say my age it would not be that big of a deal these days. But while in over all good health he is 85 years old. So I am worried for booth him and my self.[/quote] Ken - while replacing a heart valve is a routine job nowadays, there are many more risks involved when the patient is a person in his 80s. Being "off-line" for quite a few hours can result in a deprivation of oxygen to the brain. While not being lethal, it can change the patient´s personality, who may show signs of vascular dementia - similar to Alzheimer. I have gone through that with my mom and I have heard of a number of other cases just recently. Better to get prepared for a job change!
