Ha! Just trying to distract by invoking the metaphysical, eh? This

an empirically testable fact! All I demand is verifiable data instead

 I think I use make when I am not in a hurry, it is a softer word and
thus invokes a more relaxed atmosphere.  When I'm in a 'need to do'
mode, I fix dinner.  Fix has the nuances of getting down to business.

 In regards to 'put up', I've always heard it used in reference to
canning vegatables or making preserves, as in 'I just put up 3 quarts
of beans.'

get a copy of the places rated almanac....about fifteen bucks in bookstore,
a paperback, 9x12, thick....well worth it....and some libraries may have it.

the information is reasonably current and as long as you apply some of your
own commonsense and  interpret the stats you care about (maybe crime)
and those you don't (maybe schools and hospitals) you will find what you
want....

Standard unsubstantiated and false accusation, Harwell! Please,

I challenge you to exhibit a shred of evidence towards the truth

Well thanks for that memory trip, Doris!

Don, who was born in the middle of the depression years, and knew what it
was like to have almost nothing as a child (hmmmm, wonder if that is why
I seem to prefer large vehicles now ...we always had old junkers that
nobody would ever steal ...even though dad never took the keys out!).

Any case, enjoyed the posting!

                            Peace,
                                  Don
