For seniors, so much has unfolded over the past decades, what with recent events in Washington DC, and the precedents that have been made. It strikes one perhaps as ironic that the word precedent is almost the same as president. At least we can elect to feel somewhat warm and fuzzy dreaming about all kinds of past snippets that have nothing to do with politics.The following lyrical rhyme might bring back a memory or two.

Ektachrome, Kodachrome, where have you all gone?
It's been like leaving home, no more dark-room we own.
Films like Verichrome, Tri-X, and it goes on and on.
Spools, developing tanks, acid short stop, fixer too,
safelights, enlargers, ferrotype plates.
Some of us old-fashion type photographers don’t know what to do.
