Patrick,
My father was born a bit earlier than yours. Lived through the depression

but I think they generally choose to error on the conservative side.
Thanks for posting the pictures. I know this takes some effort and I want

Garth,
Are you saying that if I think something is bad for me than it will be bad

I wear them. I picked up a pair at a Costco roadshow last year. They have
proven to be durable. I refer to them as arm coolers because they do just
