No. Living space is living space. But they don't count unfinished basements and as long as there are no doors, I think they are still considered unfinished. I could be wrong about that. Karen ...

Well, I'm glad you guys got it all straightened out before I wandered in :) That's the attitude that made me leave the Writer's echo to the tilt nosed. And I have more talent at that than I do at photography, I'm sure. I find this to be a friendly place full of caring people who are willing to share their works and their knowledge. Just this morning I received, unbidden, a marvelous work of art from Larry. ES> Therefore, instead of B.S. or PhD, or ... I choose "H.B." - Human ES> Being (Note 3). I am in the middle of a bit of foolishness (read fun) on another echo. Some of us have slipped into an ongoing story of space exploration. I am the leader of a race from an imaginary planet (it wasn't my idea), who has just cured an earth type person of a strange disease that causes him to talk non stop, to the point of babbling. I am being rewarded with transportation to visit a Vulcan to determine my origin by means of the Vulcan mind probe. I had suggested, earlier in the goings on, that I suspected that I had been kidnapped at an early age and longed to know my true identity. Before long, in that story, I will undoubtedly be adopting the status of H.B. And I shall wear it proudly :) Thanks for the explanation. I shall attempt to see you as more human in the future :) Karen ...

ES> Those were the days.... Never realized, at the time, how much it would later be missed! ES> I still cringe when someone tells me they went somewhere and.. ES> "averaged" seventy miles an hour.... If you rallied in Southwest Divisionals, where speed limits even then were 75MPH, that wasn't nearly as dangerous as it sounds.. It meant some stretches between good rally roads were connected by "state of the art traffic movers," and it was the quickest way to get on with the rallying! O:-) ES> Boy,.. memories.. The first Rally ever, a "Seat of the Pants".. We used to run those every chance we got! Even after sportscar club meetings, in the summer months. Great fun! ;^) ES> .. I finished with a time of something like 180 minutes in ES> what was supposed to be a two-hour course... and I finished ES> AHEAD of six or seven others. ES> .. There were those on that one who were never seen again. First time I got a stripmap for an instruction sheet, I couldn't believe it was for real. Thought the rally crowd had set me up, a colossal joke! Fortunately, my partner was a veteran who had "seen it all," before. He explained it, in about 10 seconds, and we went on to another trophy. ES> The time I got hopelessly screwed up before the ten-mile ES> checkpoint, placed the Curta (I had the "big" - what was it... Probably a TYPE II.. One of our toughest rivals had a sack full. Any time they got a bad score at a checkpoint, the Curta in use was tossed into the back seat and they got out a new one! True.. Russ Brown and Nathan Jones. They later won the SCCA Nationals. ES> and tossed clipboard, pencils, clock, canned Curta and a few ES> other things (would have included the radio, tuned to CHU, but ES> that was permanently installed) into the back.. Obviously demonstrating a lack of foresight! Our WWV shortwave portable was easy to throw! Hehhehheh ES> turned to my.. driver and said "@#$@#$ it .... just drive!!!" Laughing so hard I keep hitting the wrong keys as I type.. ES> Watching a Corvette going through a checkpoint, at about 90 ES> m.p.h., in the WRONG direction.... Had an experience (cars approaching from the opposite direction) once, in a divisional rally, after the new instruction, "Follow" had been added to the official lexicon. It directed, "..do at least one thing you would not normally do," (in executing this instruction, or something to that effect). "Follow" was intended to make it simpler to get on a major road and stay on it wherever it wandered, turns and all. A devilish rally master saw it as an opportunity to trip up competitors, instead. He used an instruction, "Take Hwy.#nnn, and follow." (It, too, was on a loop, but we didn't know it until later. We did know the rallymaster, though; all too well!) We BYPASSED the first opportunity to turn onto that described road since, at that time, we had done nothing to warrant use of the "follow" term (by doing something we would not normally do) to reach that point. Our doubts steadily grew as we passed car after car, our competitors, heading in the opposite direction. Eventually we hit the checkpoint correctly and got a great score but there was much heated discussion about this after the rally. Gads, I wish I knew where all those darn pictures are now! It was habitual to take a camera. Occasionally we captured some "unbelievable" shots: Ever see rally cars going under clothes lines--across the back yards of a residences--kicking clouds of dust onto freshly washed clothes, while one poor owner stood by to hold up her line with a broom??!! (Permission to route cars over the properties had been obtained earlier. It connected a pair of roads in that sparsely settled area, but "someone" had forgotten the "when." ...
