Sometimes, one sees the remnants of businesses that no longer exist, that were around in one's youth. Bohack supermarkets is one of those long shuttered businesses.

I can still remember seeing Bohack stores in the New York area. Yet, I always wondered what happened to them. When I did some research, I found that this business was larger than I remembered, as it had expanded into auto products and restaurants before the great depression. (These businesses were dropped because of the depression.) Later on, it was taken over by Gulf and Western industries, and over expanded into bankruptcy, finally shutting down in the 1970's.
Why is this important?
It's a given - all things have a definite lifespan. I worry about my lifespan, given health issues such as my weight, blood pressure, etc., that are risk factors that could shorten it. Right now, I am dealing with one issue that scares me a bit. I feel well, but there is an unmistakable sign of a serious problem that must be taken care of - and soon! By the time this post is public, I will be in the process of seeing a doctor about it. (I should say, at first, only a front line practitioner is doing triage regarding medical symptoms, and that I expect that I will need to see the specialist shortly afterwards.)
Hopefully, I will be OK after I am examined in depth, and that nothing is found that can't be fixed. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
