Ranting and Raving

[Ubu]

This is the place to vent your frustrations.  Have at it!!

Post your rant here.

I will never, never, never move.  I want to be buried on this mountain overlooking the lake.  If a bear digs me up and eats me, fine!

[CWO3ROBBIE]

I do not like the process of moving, but I love the move itself.  That is why I live in an RV. I don't have to sort through all the crap and pack and then unpack. That is the part I hate.

This is now going to get boring so you might want to go do something else. I don't think I have done this before and it will be an exercise in self satisfaction. I will list all the places I have lived.

That's a very interesting video, Aggie. I had no idea that Houston was such a large city. It's a big as Atlanta.

[CWO3ROBBIE]

Bigger, It is the 4th largest city in the US.

I have been to Atlanta on my way to Rock Eagle, it did not look very big to me.
