   You may notice they make a big-to-do about flu shots in the fall, with   
   ads all over the place.  _LAST_ year, we saw a similar amount of ads   
   and noise about the pneumonia shot, but this year I'm seeing virtually   
   nothing about them,

   "End of the world coming - film at 11"   Yeah, I passed that milestone   
   several years ago.   Usual problems, but I'm still ticking and the   
   primary care didn't report anything that far out of tolerance (other   
   than the usual "you can loose a few pounds" - gee, I'm so glad I'm   
   allowed to do so).
