Re: Return of the Living Dead...

In the midst of it, I tried to console myself with the idea that this semi-nomadic lifestyle was kind of "traditional" for the Irish. Why, my great-great-however many greats-grandfathers moved their cattle every six months!*p*Then I did the math and found I was moving once every three months, so the comparison lost something. Started telling myself that even Irish cows wouldn't put up with being hustled about every THREE months...*p*But you're right -- I should have remembered the circuits of the nobles! Though, juding from my experiences, I think if I was an ancient Irish noble, I would have been something of a locust. Plunk myself down at one person's place and refuse to move until I'd eaten him out of house and home...*br* Re: Return of the Living Dead... Searles 147 Thu Mar 11 08:39:01 1999
