Do you prefer to travel by plane, train or automobile when going a long distance? No matter what the distance, by automobile, hands down.
What is the farthest you have done each? Japan to the USA by plane. Ohio to California and back by car in a 2 week period.
What "off the beaten path" place(s) stick in your memory? Sierra Blanca, TX
Which would you visit again? I understand that adorable little town in TX is now a toxic waste dumping ground. That really pains me. Some things are better left to memory.
Have you ever been "thrown out" or "asked to leave" from anywhere ? Yes.
How come ?I was riding my horse with some friends on their horses and we rode to a stable where the uppity people keep their horses. Showing off, I demonstrated that my horse would rear up like the TV show the Lone Ranger on command and when one of the instructors from the uppity stable saw this, I was asked to take my *dangerous* horse off the premises.
Favorite summertime sandwich? No matter what time of year - it is always time for tuna sandwiches on toasted bread! What are your favorite summer "sounds" Birds chirping in the morning and crickets singing in the dark of night. What is or was your favorite swimming pool game ? No games for me, thanks. I enjoy the serenity of just being so close to weightless. When in a pool, are you a float or swim person ? I am very definitely a float person.
I'll be on the road so I might miss the ? of the day but just wanted to give Karla a big thumbs up for her efforts and everyone have a GREAT weekend!
