> [@harmonicamoon](#): > > For an ole fart (I assume you met the qualifications of the group?), you get around. Never thought I had anything in common with Tennessee, but indeed I am at Longitude 88W. And señor suits me fine. Oh, yes. I qualify. Just passed over Bridge #72 in early December. But the getting around you refer to is more from enjoying maps and things like [http://www.confluence.org/](http://www.confluence.org/) where I plotted the trips around the world in both directions (up and down, and east and west) to kill another afternoon not too long ago. Even started a thread to get others involved in some useless fun along those lines. I do enjoy geography trivia. It never ceases to amaze me that South America is east of Atlanta! ---

> [@Lanzy](#): > > 61, but I don’t post a lot, and my sickness varies. Well, if the shoe fits and doesn’t squeak when you walk, make yourself at home. As you can tell, the concept of “serious” has yet to set in, so try on some of your sicknesses for fit. ---
