Lessee: Perfect?  But of course...  Antique?  Well, if your
definition is 100 years or older, she's not there yet, but there
are genes in her favor... Gaining in monetary value?  Yep, she's
building her own IRA.  'Course, that won't do me any good, assuming
that second point holds true, unless dementia sets in* and I can
convince her that iron oxide is an important nutrient necessary
for long-term good health.

*her, not me.

OT content:  she's pretty tolerant of my oldtool needs, though
she did recently give me a baseball cap with a picture of a
try square and the words "Just Build It"...  Wonder if there's a
