>>You're welcome to come supervise, sit beneath the magnolia tree or the oak and sip Loch Dhu whilst I labor.<< Hmm. That's alluring. You really know how to set a lure. You think it best if I don't help? For medical reasons? Or should I be insulted. "I brought you out a box of toys." Is Techie going to Houston? I assume he knows TX is a big State. I mean, he's been there and he's pretty smart.Usually. He has relations down there. Relatives I mean. Maybe relations too. Maybe with the relatives. You know, it's really cool to picture going somewhere like that. Somewhere you've never been. I always get really into that. To me, it's like Disney. Like they went someplace ahead of you and put up a whole geography with plants and animals and people and trees. Because it's all different from where you live, but similar. Unless you get to where they have the two headed people with the clear arms. I like it. And there's always major buildings in a new town. Place. Things that were in your architecture books. Probably still are. And you hear different languages and eat different foods, and get to visit new hospitals. Make emergency services inspections. I like the new plants. I notice them. Like jacaranda. Ocotillo. I'm not saying you have those, but you have something. I think. I've never seen an amardillo. It was a little shocking to sse the wild pig-type tapir-type things in Arizona. I forget what they're called. Boars of some almost kind. Javelinas? I mean, we stopped at this one place, and I went to take a leak in the bushes, and they snorted at me. That will put the fear of DT's in ya. Yah; go on back to the car and say the bushes are moving and snorting at me. I always think, "Can they live in there? " "Who said they could live in there." "Who put the amardillos in there." It just never occurs to me that I am Where They GO. When I'm in Hawaii, it's "Wow. Look at all these colored fish and turtles. Who put these turtles in here? Where did they come from? " Not, "Ah. At last. I'm finally in turtle waters." I think they go around the corners to turtle boxes. To amardillo motels. Hotels. Trailer courts. Amardillo summer camp. "This amardillo's on a snipe hunt. He says." Actually, I never get that far; but I just don't know what they're doing there. "Must be some kind of accident. Amardillo spill. Or a meeting or something." Or that the next thing I see will be a kid who is looking for him. "See if he has a tag on him, Mary Jane." Science isn't my "fort."
