catch a wake up yourself. There are plenty of ways to reduce the

Since you are such a wizard, why don't you set the example and shorten
the
distances you travel.

It doesn't take a wizard to realize that a 6 mile trip from
my house to work is shorter than the 30 mile commute my boss has.

It doesn't take a wizard to realize that the 6 mile trip from
my house to my hangar is shorter than the 25 mile trip to
a different airport (where the hangars are cheaper).


And you say: shorten
the distance. Thanks alot!

pay attention. I never, ever said to shorten the distance.
I said to drive fewer miles. It seems you are incapable
of grasping the difference.


This is why things are so screwed up today. People try to be smart and
look
past the obvious.

Yes, people try to be smart and end up demonstrating their level
of comprehension. Try to think outside the box occasionally.
