Ah Joe, as one who lives and works a lot of the time on the
sweeping plainlands of the arid interior, I _do_ understand your
revulsion.

Im not revulsed Tad, Ive been outback in the 80's. Just not my
favorite place ok.

It's one I commonly meet amongst tourists new to such
areas. You see, never in their lives have they been confronted
by a clear 360 degrees of level horizon, with no evidence of
human structure or activity other than the road they are on. Just
like being at sea, in fact,

No it is not. the sea is always changing, and is full of life.


for which they also experience
similar feelings of revulsion, and, indeed, terror.

Sheeeeze what a bunch of wusses, myself I could live at sea and never
return to land.


You may find
professional counselling will assist you in conquering this fear
of wide, apparently featureless horizons. You will need to get
rid of your generalised agoraphobia first.

Yadada yadada ............... What ever. Just dont try to pass off a
wasteland as the sea or ocean Ive been to both and much prefer the sea
or oceans. Big difference tad.


Best wishes for an unbounded future unlimited by close
horizons,crimped cities and cramped docks.

Thanks Same 2 ya! Good luck on the tie breaker
