Why did you have to remind me of all of the "miseries" I have. Don't you have any feeling for your fellow man? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For example: * I have to endure a 10 minute drive home from work which involves a country two-lane road, 2 stop signs, 2 traffic lights, and an occasional school bus. (And I miss the chance of running into a traffic jam.) * You remind me of the need to get my sailboat ready for winter storage. The cruise to the Thousand Islands this summer was so infuriating with all of that sun and wind! * My neighbors stare at that funny thing on the side of my house cause I cheat and have air conditioning because I have a heat pump. But my $950 annual utility bill is disgusting! * It might take me as long as 30 minutes to get from one part of the city to another and we only have almost a million people in the Greater Rochester Area! * I'm reminded that I have to check out my cross-country skiing equipment and get ready for the first good snowfall. * I'm forced to live in a village with a population of only 2,000 that is 6 miles from the edge of the metropolitan center and I have to drive 20 minutes (25 in rush hour) to get there. And to make matters worse, the village is surrounded by all things, horse farms, apple orchards, and corn fields! How disgusting! * And I always seem to miss the best Rochester Philharmonic Concert of the season! Maybe its because I dine out too often! * And why did you have to rub it in about having spending money? I running out of ideas: airplane, sailboat, trips around the country, and jaunts around the world. Just how creative can a guy get when it comes to spending money? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheez, some guys don't have any feeling for the other guy. Sam just had to remind me of all of my problems living in Rochester. Can't you leave me alone? And what will Tim Smith think of me now? I better hope that he doesn't have me committed! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remember folks, when it comes to your choice of where to live, the adage, "Different strokes for different folks," was never more appropriate. as ever j.r. :-)
