Thanks, Roger; that's good to know. I'm going to the eye doctor in a
few weeks; hopefully my cataracts aren't growing and only my glasses
need adjusting. Anyway, I understand that cataracts can be removed
easily and people who have had them removed can see better than ever
in their lives. So presumably I won't need my credits.
