-=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 03-Jul-2019 16:03 <=-

And, finally, the last of the batch you sent off while I was away on my
second trip, coming home only to find you were off on your month-long
one...  ;)  By the time you get this, I'll be just about ready to be off
on yet another (quicker, this time, only a few days) trip myself... ;)
I'll be leaving on the 13th... :)

 NB>>>>> So, neat but not obsessively so...  :)
 BM>>>> Right plus goes more along with the last part of "do as I say, not as
 BM>>>> I do" as my Computer Room is a little ("ahem!") messy.
 NB>>>> Should she ask, I suppose you could respond with, that's why I
 NB>>>> want you to learn how to do things better than I.... ;)
 BM>>> At this point I'm not sure that logic would work.  Plus I do need to
 BM>>> clean up, But First!
 NB>>> Yeah, she might be too young still...  :)  And eventually you probably
 NB>>> will get to the clean up.... maybe even before Autumn grows up... :)
 BM>> I hope so! <g>
 NB>> We shall see... <G>
 BM> <Surveying>  So far you appear to be correct!

And going off gallivanting doesn't help much on the getting things
cleaned up...  ;) 
 
 NB>>> I'm just thankful I'm not living in a CITY, like that.... ;)
 BM>> As always it's all relative.  I was raised where there is a big hill
 BM>> in the back yard and a patch of woods.  Others raised in a high-rise
 BM>> apartment building and their backyard is a small deck jutting from the
 BM>> side of the building.
 NB>> True, it's relative, but even if raised in a big city, doesn't mean
 NB>> that the person is all that comfortable with it... may not know of
 NB>> anything different, but if given the opportunity, probably would
 NB>> appreciate the more open areas, at least in most cases.... :)
 BM> Possibly.  Haven't really known a Big City person.  Small town into
 BM> big village size, yes -- they tend to like the small town living and
 BM> don't mind visiting the Quad Cities (Davenport/Bettendorf IA,
 BM> Moline/Rock Island/East Moline IL -- we stopped at 'Quad' though some
 BM> did continue to 'Quint'; figured might get into trouble at six! <jk>),
 BM> Iowa City, Des Moines or Chicago, but do like getting back to home or a
 BM> 'home-sized' town.  I don't think I'd be comfortable living in
 BM> Chicago-proper, though might not be so bad if on the outskirts with
 BM> trees and nature. 

Growing up, we lived in various sized towns, some on the edges of really
big cities.... I'm most comfortable now with somewhat rural or in a
small city (where there's some space between houses, like we have
here)... not keen on suburbia, where one is less likely to know one's
neighbors.... 

 BM>>>> <chuckle> Why am I thinking along the lines of 'ignorance is bliss'?!
 NB>>>> More along the lines of disasters aren't the norm, so no real
 NB>>>> reason to worry... if they do happen, then there they are.... ;)
 BM>>> Pretty much yes.  The thought never goes beyond "gee they're flying
 BM>>> lower than normal" and into the 'OMG! <panicky state>'.  Now that you
 BM>>> brought it up (thanks? <g>) any flight emergency would probably
 BM>>> attempt to land on I-74 a few blocks from here.
 NB>>> You'd have a front row seat.... <G>
 BM>> Well, to everything but the landing: houses and trees blocking.
 NB>> Just as well... :)  You might not want to actually see the landing,
 NB>> unless the pilot managed a safe one.... :)
 BM> A safe landing even though the wings got clipped off would be OK to
 BM> view in real life; not all that desireable to view a bad one in real
 BM> life even though can on TV.  There's a difference between real Real
 BM> Life and on-TV real life.

Very true....
