CD, Did I know you in a previous incarnation by any chance? Someone on the Beeb MB used to call me Morty, but I can`t remember who   I borrowed the moniker from I know not whom elsewhere on this board. I am not a re-incarnation of anybody. I live in Illinois. It follows. So what do you prefer to be called, with my apologies? |

You should hear what my nickname at work is  So, is there life after Illinois?  |

Illinois is a nice place. I drove through it on the was from Ca to Toronto.
There are parts of Illinoise that I liked.
I think life in big cities everywhere is difficult, but small towns are nice.
Sorry to intrude on your conversation.

Illinois - isn't that a very windy city? My mother used to sing a Doris Day number in her cabaret act years ago - something about a windy city and Illinois. Can't remember it now.

Chicago is a city in the state of Illinois, I believe.

 Chicago is a big city, but it is not all Illinois. There were small places that I to remember. We avoided Chicago on advace of AAA travel agent. Illinois is beautiful place. People say that Chicago is a good city. They don't say the same about Detroit, but it is in another state. |

A fascinating contribution as always. Richard, this is the Waffle thread. And t-p was waffling beautifully in that post so your sarcasm is unjustified.  |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Is there life after Illinois? Time will tell, as the Greeks say. I live in the red diamond called Urbana on this map: . We have a university there. Twas brillig and still is. Hence Illinois. The 's' is usually silent. Morty is what I will say, then which is better than turning Morticia into morcilla. Completely different thing.  |

CD,
The morsels of morcilla look rather tempting. Unless you`re vegetarian. Which I`m not. Cripes, does that mean I may become a morcilla in my next life? Gulp!
