that was an extremely valuable map, thanks - probably pointless, you sent me a map where you consider Ft Bend County Texas as urban. You are right with that perspective the galleria looks like Manhattan...

Manhatten isn't the Judge of being Urban. If it was there would be 1 city in the US. Stop being daft.

No I am paying attention and pointing out that the galleria area has more in common with suburban development than typical city urban development.

BTW - its Adderall, might I suggest the XR version, extends the halflife and more continuity in realease

And yes I have been to Ft Bend County actually, Memorial Hermann Hospital which to the best of knowledge is definately in Fort Bend, as is Katy I believe

On your allusion of Manhattan bend your interpretation as you desire
