Well part of my childhood just died. Remember when Saturday morning kids shows were actual shows and not just 30 minute commercials for toys? Sid and Marty Krofft created most of the Saturday morning shows I watched as a kid. Land of the Lost. H.R. PuffNStuff, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters and so many more. Now a days you would wonder how stoned everyone was when they created these lol.
Really one of the greats who was a problem for all the English teams... Parkinsons and dementia along with heart issues (very sad)

What're they gonna say about me? "He kept busy and wore everything out." lol
Natural death pretty much means non-violent. Usually, health related. Car crashes and physical violence are certainly not natural. The death certificate is apparently supposed to give a more accurate diagnosis, a specific reason, one of many heart issues, for example.

I'm starting to think that 100 isn't out of reach. Not sure I'd be able to move any more, but I'll still watch others move, lol.

For all of us Oldies but Goodies. Like I said, I just intend to wear everything out, lol.
From Health.com:
There is some nuance here, and technically, things like heart attack, cancer, and infections could be considered "natural" given that they happen to people without any outside force, Lewis Nelson, MD, chair of emergency medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, told Health. "It basically means that the death was not due to a 'non-natural' event, such as suicide or homicide," Dr. Nelson said.
However, end-of-life researcher Christopher Kerr, MD, PhD, chief medical officer, and chief executive officer for Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo, told Health that the term is usually used when someone dies of old age. "There's usually an absence of overriding disease," Dr. Kerr said. "There isn't a driving catabolic state—it's really dying in totality, and a general progression of loss of functional strength, energy, and appetite over time."

Come on Walt. At 104, my granddad was travelling solo between England and India. You've got to set your sights higher - at least 110.

Yes, kind of like when my dad passed. Sure, had underlying medical conditions, but near the end, it was almost as though the time had come and his body started to shut down. Staff at the nursing home he was in have seen this lots of times, and told us he probably has 2 - 4 days to go. It was not as though any of his underlying medical conditions flared up, it was just time to go.
Well, I meant it more as a figurative thing, I think, lol. But, NO, don't stick ANYthing in the water there, lol.
keep plugging away
