And another relocated post....

In my continuing efforts to organize, I'm also moving this post from another blog....And an update for it: since this was originally posted in 2011, I guess it would be more like 15 years since I originally heard the adage.

With each passing year I've experienced an equivalent constraint in living space that's comparable to having travelled in a private compartment on that famed railway, from Paris to Istanbul...about one hundred times.
