[QUOTE="flyguy1, post: 1913701, member: 92595"] To echo the "life's short" theme, there's an anecdote I read in one of the "real" outdoor magazines (Outdoor Life, etc., decades ago before they were just gear review rags). Incidentally it was St. Jack O'Connor who cursed me with my love of fine walnut; dude cost me some serious coin. I told it to my then-girlfriend (now wife of 40+ years) when we were deciding on whether we should go backpacking when we had very little money. It was told like this: "When we were growing up, we were a family of five in a small house with one bathroom. We were continually saving up to add another bathroom. Every time we almost reached our goal, we decided to spend the money on a hunting, fishing, or camping trip. Now, as we are older, and get together with our aging parents and our siblings and our pack of kids, we often reminisce about those days. It's hard to think that we would look back and say, wow we sure had cool bathrooms." [/QUOTE]
