I do have a full 3 or four days worth of clothes, all of which
coordinate,
all of which dry quickly, can be easily washed out in a sink, etc.

At least in Paris, laundromats are not too difficult to find, although
it depends somewhat on the neighborhood.

We'll see. Probably depends on proximity to Snell and Sauber, what kind of
homework I have etc. Might be a good thing to do Mondays, when many sights
are closed.

Memory deteriorates only very slightly with age, and the more it is
used, the less it deteriorates.

Significant problems with memory in old age are usually pathological.


Yeah, it's not growing older that causes memory loss. it's having
KIDS that really destroys the old brain cells.

Here, on Usenet, within the last Three Months. Google for yourself.

Following up to Mxsmanic


Also, I''m nowhere near fluent in any language but English, and
it's much harder to become so when one is elderly.

Age is not an impediment to the acquisition of additional languages.

I used to have an almost photographic memory when I was younger. I
would say I still have a good memory, but nothing like it once was. It
has nothing to do with motivation; it is more or less involuntary.

I realized on my last trip to the US that I had left my little address
book at home. I sat down to see if I could remember the phone numbers
of the various friends and relatives I wanted to call, and realized
that I really had no need of the address book. There was exactly one
person whose phone number I hadn't already (inadvertently) memorized.
I'm always rather surprised when I see someone looking up a phone
number that it seems to me they should know, for instance someone
looking up his son's phone number.

However, when I was young, I used to remember phone numbers and
license plates that I had seen only once and had no desire to
memorize. When I lived in Philadelphia, I could have told you the
phone number of nearly every public office and a large number of
commercial establishments, just because I had had occasion to call
them at some time or other. Let's say that when I was young, I hardly
had need of the White Pages, now I'm reduced to hardly having need of
my personal address book.



Auto dial features have made the address file more necessary when the
feature is unavailable.

I'm good at memorizing things I don't need. I know the license plate
numbers of all the cars I've owned, even though I don't own any of
them now.

Oddly, I have a rather poor visual memory. I sometimes have trouble
recognizing my own car and I'm hopeless with those of others. If
waiting for someone to meet me, I usually recognize the car by the
license number.

I can't say I remember every license number I've ever had, but I
remember most of them, and some of the ones my father had when I was a
child.

And, for that matter the word "jeans".?

denim most likely "de nimes" (a center of French cloth manufacture

Jeans might be Genes (Genoa)

Right on both. C'mon, you looked it up, didn't you?

Absolutely not. I am a fountain of useless information.
