Default OLC - Often a Lost Cause

A good day is all of the above and NOT being told that I don't exist by
a piece of software.

It's kinda like that old episode of the Twilight Zone (or was it The
Outer Limits) where the leader tells the old scholar that he's
"obsolete". Look it up for the full story.

Let me get this straight. You woke up alive (some of us don't). Got to fly in a rare Caproni glider for around 300 miles in scenic countryside and in booming conditions. Celebrated with beers and burgers, all served up by a woman. And still you felt compelled to take time to complain? What do you consider a good day?

Dan,
It was "The Twilight Zone" with Burgess Meredith and Fritz Weaver....First aired 6/2/61 and was called "The Obsolete Man!" You have an excellent memory!
