Right. Next you'll be telling me how interesting the "Golf Network" can
be...


Does everyone have to like the same things as you? Personally, I can't
imagine living more than a short drive from an ocean, or in a place so flat
that from a third floor window you can make out the curvature of the earth,
but some people thrive on that. I knew a guy when I was in the Air Force
who couldn't stand the greenery and texture of Colorado, and wanted to
return asap to the Arizona desert, where things were dry and brown as God
intended.

Personally, that's why I own an airplane.

I can be in Canada in 3 hours, Florida in 6.5 hours, or the desert Southwest
before suppertime.

When you fly, it doesn't really matter *where* you live...

Hey, for those into cooking, it can be just as interesting as r.a.p.

:-)


The Golf Network must be of interest for some, same for the Food
Network, otherwise they wouldn't exist (no company sells something that
doesn't pay back).

Imagine there was such a thing as the Flying Network. You would be
watching that all day long, and you would talk about it here with a lot
of fun and interest. On forums about golf you would read:

"The Flying Network? Pouhahahaha! Could you imagine? There are people in
this world so flat so to be interested into watching aircrafts all day
long!"

Get my point?

That said, I'm not interested much in neither golf or food.

Besides.... my wife is addicted to the Food Network... I have no choice!

Consider yourself lucky. Mine is hooked on QVC. I get about 3 packages a day
from them. I can't say anything, because her rebuttal is always the same:

"Yeah? $1000 for a headset? $1000 for a GPS? $3000 for the annual?"

She's right. :-)

What about women of the same sex?

Elisabeth and I have a deal. I don't complain about the packages that arrive every
other day from yarn and pattern suppliers or about the shelves of yarn in the
basement and she doesn't complain about my wood shop or airplane stuff.

I think it's a good deal!

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

I'm open to that, too . . . As a matter of fact, I'm especially open to
that.

Is that a full drive, or just a 3-wood?

No, but perhaps you're missing mine?
