Perhaps you would be more comfortable if you sat down awhile . After all, those people staring has to be distracting. As for me I have been here for quite some time and have been accustomed to harsher surroundings other than this before us. Nice day , cool breeze with just a touch of... well let's just say that in the air there is a faint remembrance that seems to call out to such an old fool such as me.

You are quite kind, I never thought about the sights and sounds here in that sort of descriptive tone. Besides what would it matter if it were as you have so put it .....

I understand your travels finally have slowed over the last few months, which is good. I can remember back in the day when travel was tedious, no enjoyment. Constant bickering over where cargo was to be placed, no consideration- simply horrendous . But the sights and sounds ! Ahhhhhh, I miss those days!

A man could live without fear of being bothered, walk among the streets head held high and feel the financial strength by weight of his pocketbook.... Oh, I know its not called that here but I really have no need for ..yes I carry money but as you can see the service here is free of charge.

History ? From the looks of things you have no room for such talk ! But come now, let us not bicker so. You came seeking answers and I willingly agreed to this interview .

As I said before, you really might want to consider sitting down. Pretend the others are not staring and I'm sure we will have a nice time. I must commend you on the choice of snacks you have provided , been a long time since anyone has brought such fine fodder ! No, I hardly touch their stuff anymore - heartburn not being a condition that easily cures itself here you know. But they do look tasty ! And the wine, you really went all out here didn't you....

Yeah... the renovations are slow. but in a few months the hall and first floor will be as good as new and I have finally learned the wiring ! Quite proud of that little discovery ! On certain days I can make quite a bit of progress and they notice. That's why the fellow up on the second floor suggested we finally meet I suppose . Like you said some things just work out for the best when you don't plan'em out .
