In which case go with cheaper and more
convenient, which I'm guessing soon will
be the machine, if it's not already.

Depends mostly on the need but other factors would also need to be considered. Is it an urban, indoor environment or an outdoor, rural one
where the device or animal would be used? Other factors also, but those
would be near the top of the list to determine if computer or animal
would be the better choice.

For me of course it would always be an urban
setting.

Some aviation expert claimed that April 6 would be aviation
armageddon, so I put Bonnie on one plane and Lilli on another
and took a third one myself. Nothing untoward happened. If,

I din't hear anything about it, but didn't know anyone flying that day.

This expert guy didn't get much coverage, and
those of us who weighed the evidence decided, nah.

as I fear, there are Russians or Assanges or who knows who
trying to hack into the systems, Boeing will do a bit more
suffering, and then if it goes down altogether, in a suitable
timeframe Airbus will start experiencing the same kinds of
issues. Your grandchildren may end up having to fly Tupolevs
or cheap Chinese knockoffs.

Unless something better comes along.

One can hope for that, but it doesn't look likely.
And the reputations of the American and European
companies are in the toilet (especially in the
first case), and making a better product isn't
going to repair public attitudes rapidly.

We like the convenience of having our own motel room and restaurant. (G) Overnight parking spots are usually easy to find and if we don't

Makes sense for the kind of wandering you do
as opposed to the kind I do.

I make my own blend of the 3 herbs I use in Italian cooking, equal parts
of each. Salt, pepper, garlic powder (and sometimes onion) are added separatly. Keeping a jar of the herb blend in the camper kitchen saves
having to carry 3 jars in a limited space.

Having dry spices in combindations you like
makes sense. For myself, I prefer a little more
control. Were I in your situation I might have
a master mixture with little 1/2 oz jars of
sage, rosemary, and garlic to tweak as necessary.
And large jars of thyme, cumin, and hot pepper.

Doubtful any of us would have to resort to private boats or whatever

to > get to Europe, Asia, etc.
If that happens, for me at least the private boats
would be of a somewhat lower caliber than what we
like to think about.

Row, row, row your boat................(G)

With some big burly guy with a whip standing over.

How loudly can you squeak?

Can? Haven't tried too hard. Willing to,
not so much.

IOW, no grease then.

I seldom get grease except in my diet.

That's a term I dislike also. There are others that certain food

Well evoo to you, too. Fabulous, as Mr. Florence
used to say fifty times, maybe more, per show.

BAM! (G)

Aargh.

I missed hearing about that one, doesn't matter at this point.

1. Somehow these things get shushed up pretty quick,
though this one got out (it was early this year).

Probably more should have been made of it, as a warning to others?

Problem with that is that the person didn't get
caught - turned herself in.

2. It matters to me who fly a hundred times a year.
It should matter to you if you fly at all. Next time
the transgression may not be an innocent mistake.

Understood.

3. Somehow these things get shushed up pretty quick.
I admit it wasn't a huge big deal this time.

But it could have been.

Precisely, and that's why we all should care.
My exposure is 50 or 100 times others', but there
always is risk if you go at all.

My choices tend to be compound drupes, but among
the Vaccinium entries, it's lowbush blueberries
all the way.

Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries--I'll take any and all of them.
Also cherries, except the proccessed into maraschino ones. (G)

Mostly agreed, and I'll even eat the artificial ones.

Hi Michael,

Depends mostly on the need but other factors would also need to be considered. Is it an urban, indoor environment or an outdoor, rural

one > where the device or animal would be used? Other factors also,

would be the better choice.

For me of course it would always be an urban
setting.

It could go either way with me. Seems tho, the last few years, I've been
in more urban environments, with some exceptions. Don't know how true
that will hold in years to come.

Some aviation expert claimed that April 6 would be aviation armageddon, so I put Bonnie on one plane and Lilli on another
and took a third one myself. Nothing untoward happened. If,

I din't hear anything about it, but didn't know anyone flying that

day.

This expert guy didn't get much coverage, and
those of us who weighed the evidence decided, nah.

I had other things to be concerned with on that day, being up in an
airplane was not on my list of "gotta dos".

as I fear, there are Russians or Assanges or who knows who
trying to hack into the systems, Boeing will do a bit more suffering, and then if it goes down altogether, in a suitable timeframe Airbus will start experiencing the same kinds of

I think we're all getting somewhat antsy over flying now.

were. We'd > ML> have > probably stopped to visit our daughters

Exactly! Most mornings when we're on the road, Steve will have my travel
mug filled with tea (holds the heat for hours) so I don't have to take
time to make it. Lunch is usually a sandwich, supper--depends on if
we're wanting to make more miles, stop for the night or whatever, as to
what we'll do.

sage, rosemary, and garlic to tweak as necessary.
And large jars of thyme, cumin, and hot pepper.

I do have all the other spices available within a short reach so they
can be added as desired. You'll see my set up in a few months.

Not in a rowboat or canoe.

I seldom get grease except in my diet.

It's around here in various forms, especially elbow grease.

She was, at least, honest.

Always, sky marshalls can't prevent every incident from happening.
