Exactly... One just has to balance it all out... (G)

Richard and I don't do all that much traveling, especially other than by
car, but we've long been those who travel light, so as not to need to
lug lots or have to check baggage.  His pocketknife is generally what
requires checking nowadays...

I see that my next spate is about lining up with your return, then... ;)
I'm still way behind in reading packets, and even further behind on
answering... (I think the former is about up to the 11th or 12th)... and
Gwen (neighbor) is still in rehab... making progress but slowly, and
still requiring a lot of support (and time and energy) from me. 

 ML> Speaking of flights of fancy, have you heard that Airbus
 ML> just unveiled the concept of a transparent airplane, planned
 ML> to be put in production around 2050?

Yes, someone in Memories mentioned that, I think... a propos of a
conversation about fear of heights...  ;)  Interesting concept... not
exactly what I think I'd like to ride in, for multiple reasons!
