Recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria remind me that Mother Nature is not always benevolent and bountiful. Sometimes she is downright violent and vicious.

SPINNING DAYS
DEAR ABBY: I am a healthy, single, 76-year-old man. I spend lots of time at a local gym. I met a woman there two years ago, and we went out for coffee. She’s a few years younger than I am.
