I much prefer a risky walk in the jungle, to one along a placid shore. Yep, I think so.

That is worth a lot. I'm just 6 and 200 or so. You'd think that would discourage most, but I have yet to meet a real cowboy...even down to about 5' 4" that has any "back down" in him. A line I have used with some success is: I've been working real hard on my violence problem. (As I say this I clench my fists a lot...and kind of struggle to get the words out). I take a peek to see what effect that is having and sometimes have to add: I'm trying real hard to stay out of jail..I don't want to break parole. Oddly, the last bit sometimes get me an invite to sit down and have a beer. Since I've never been to jail, I think I must be a pretty good actor. Sometimes I get up and sing a song or play my harp with the band. I always dedicate it to someone. The first time I dedicated it to Obama, I had a fun walk back to my table. Everyone wanted to be my huckelberry. Yes Pelmo, you have an intimidating size. That is worth a lot. I’m just 6 and 200 or so.

Thanks Indigo. I've been feeling that the southern hemisphere might be a safer place to live now that there is the Orient arms race heating up. I agree with you on discussions in eurpoe. Much more civil and seemingly more informed. I'm trying not to be so polarized...but it kind of is how I was programed. “As likely to be fried as tan”.
