It's actually a blessing in disguise. It has made me seek out the smaller, locally & privately owned businesses, e.g., LDW. I've been in the public service for years and believe you me, service sells, and that's a rarity in most big department/box stores. I'm also 'fearsly' patriotic, noting to do with flag & country, but all about supporting locally grown/made products.

Like you, when at 35000 feet above ground, I also prefer an inside seat, mostly because I sleep the time away.

Thank, bunches, for your kind thoughts about an antidote, but NO thanks! These little quirks makes life both interesting & challenging.
As your signature says; yes, I've peeked:
It's not an adventure until you get lost. Otherwise, it's just a road trip.
Being a biker granny, I can sooo relate!

Your graphics are awesome, you say! Umm… well.. ok… I'll give you that.
