We'll do a swap.  You come stay in the very very centre of the city with me...if I can come out to the farm with you...

You'd enjoy the centre.  It's the peripheries that are dangerous...and every area has its peripheries I think...where it meets another area...and sometimes those are the most interesting places.  The best pub in Brighton is less than two minutes from the station...as are another, er, six to ten pubs...so...which one is the best?

(Cough...The Evening Star!...cough)

yes...it's about danger, no?  Not sure who's doing what to whom where when and why?  In cities people howl...I learned that.  But often they're country folk finally getting to...howl...ach...trouble is we live on different continents, so maybe I'm not comparing like with like?  People here--where I live--like NY and SF, so those are probably the best comparisons...but super huge, I think...where I "live" takes forty minutes to walk from one end to the other...going on two hours...for a sense of space...well...okay...it's a long walk to the city edge, but the central edge...spreads along the coast...narrow and long...with some stretches...ach worra great diary!  Got me thinking a whole lot of thoughts...the city states...yoiks!  I have to rush...

I no make-a ze sense...!
