I have always been interested in Learning more and more about All Aspects of life here on earth and beyond

Is it good to know so much?

I think one of the reasons I'm still alive at age 78 is that being alive and learning new things all the time has always interested me. I think I got this from my father a lot because he was valedictorian of his Seattle High school Class in 1934 then at age 21 he married a girl 17 (which was pretty normal then) and chartered a Yacht with his brother when he was 24 and his brother I think was 22 so his wife must have been 21 by then and then they sailed 40 days to get to Tahiti with no land in sight from Catalina Island off the coast of Los Angeles County in California.

MY father wanted to know everything about everything too which was one reason why he was Valedictorian and became a Vegetarian in 1934 because he saw how unhealthy eating meat was for people then because of how meat was processed and injected with all kids of stuff that could kill you eventually then.

Even in the 1950s my father and I watched other people in the Construction trades die a lot from about age 40 to 55 from heart attacks from eating meat and potatoes after a hard days work and a beer or two and just going to sleep right after eating which is a real killer of people then and now after 40 especially hard working men.

If you are going to eat like that at least stay awake at least 1/2 hour so your food can digest and not just kill you young from sleeping on a heavy Steak meal.

However, generally speaking less people by far die that way now than in the 1950s and early 1960s because they are more educated and exercise regularly and have more varied diets than eating a steak and potatoes every single day like some men in the 1950s up through about 1965.
