Because of the vagaries of life and a homeless period when it never occurred to me I could even put anything IN STORAGE, ( which I might have had I had more friendly and Street Wise people left to assist me-- but didn't ) (this reminds me of a topic breached by a friend of mine re someone in his family, to wit: people in serious trouble are often their own worst enemies..but more of that another time.
denoting something of high quality, something from the past or characteristic of the best period
