Sundays are for Around the Farm.

We begin with the reality that we live in a "gated community" of one family.

If you don't mind, I'm curious as to what state or region you're in? And maybe how long the drive is to the nearest city with a more or less full-service airport (i.e., one serviced by at least one major carrier, not just private and corporate planes)?

Spokane International Airport. A month ago we moved from Ellensburg WA to here, Deer Park.

May I ask how you came up with your one word username? I really really like your Signature Line!

*According to google "'Atall'" is a nonstandard or obsolete variant of the common English phrase "'at all.'" Kind of like me.

I'm afraid the source for my name is a big fat secret; but it seems to me consistent with my tendency to question pretty much everything. (I try to regard all "truths" as working hypotheses, and to favor those that confer the greatest predictive power in the greatest number of situations.)
