It doesn't have to be; our dsuburbs were notoriously underserved by transit until we started making noise to the right people, & now we have a pretty great systemn all throughout the region. . . including rapid transit "skytrains" into the city core, with stations every couple miles. > GP> Helps that I've built relationships(business, not romantic) in both > GP> institutions. > Your wife might frown if it was the latter.

Actually smokng it is bad for the lungs -- better to use a Vaporiser to just get the benefirts of the medicinal cannabinoids -- the trick is to get a strain with low THC(the "get high" component) & high in the CBDs you need. > I wasn't out of breath...I was in too much pain from the arthritis in my > hips and legs.

It's all good; I used to do the same - hit my QWK (& SOUP) packets on a late night wake-up, to tire myself again to get more sleep for the rest of the night. Now Iu'm not set up for QWK & SOUP yet. Got a newsgroup reader to read/reply directly, but I liked my old DOS reader best -- did both SOUP & QWK (not the Blue one, though, so I didn't bother with those) I need to set up my old DOS 6.22 IBM 486 (with 21" colour CRT) I had good times on it. . . Still got 10s of thousands of jokes & puns stored on there, easily searchable. Buty can only move them off using a 3.5" FDD, so I need to buy a USB FDD so I can copy & transfer to my main computer (standard & basic Win10 ) Your friend, <+]:{)} Cyberpope, Bishop of ROM --- SBBSecho 3.14-Linux * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757.2) .
