RIP Kirstie Alley

So many celebrities within a year of my age, 72, have been dying in the past couple of years - almost always cancer if cause of death is mentioned.

As a college research and industrial research chemist, I handled - even washed my hands with - so many chemicals that were later determined to be carcinogenic that I switch to teaching high school after I could literally taste some of the chemicals I had worked with during the week when I went for a Saturday run.

I smoked from 20 to age 44.

So I get every test available to me.  Somehow, no cancer so far, but I'm reminded of my higher than normal probability - which gets closer to normal as the years pass - every time I see an elderly cancer death.
