Sad news.

Hard for the younger generation to realize, I think. Michael Jackson's
passing is more important.

Cronkite's passing is starting to make me feel old.

RIP.

They have a procedure using electricity somehow to make you forget old
memories.
Kids have great outlooks and few melancholy or bad memories.
People that stay active and focused on where they are going are
generally happy and healthier.
When you have to give up work etc your mind starts to work and remember
all those accumulated experiences and conditions your outlook. It is not
age that makes many retirees depressed. It is usually bad health caused
or influenced by stress including consequences of memories now coming to
the surface all the time.
Cronkite's passing means so much, to many, of us, because he was a fond
fixture, of our youth and we miss that. We have little to replace what
we had. This generation doesn't know what they missed. Perhaps it is
better that way.
