Eld, only once is the odometer going to read 123456.

My DH is the surviving beneficiary on an insurance policy his father took out nearly 100 years ago when he served in WWI. DH received $1.89 monthly starting in 1949. (His mother selected that option thinking it would keep him in comic books.) We had to move heaven and earth to get the government to at least consolidate this into an annual check; only proof of his death will stop it. Don't you wonder how many other similar checks are issued where there's no 'sunset' when costs exceed benefit?

jim, you remind me of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who so hated Sherlock Holmes that he killed him off...but then had to bring him back due to popular demand.
