Thank you, Sir. I will make a point of doing so.

Those are some great ideas! I'm embarrassed to say I couldn't do a very good job of sketching out the street, much less any of the other exercises. All too often I find myself wondering when some building or other was torn down - clearly, I have some work to do. Thank you, Sir.

I've found a lot of wisdom in your posts - your Mindset thread being one example - so I particularly appreciate your response. One of the challenges I face is internal dialog - thinking about whatever comes to mind instead of paying attention. That must surely be as bad as a cell phone.
So, I'll work on modifying my behavior.

Perhaps I'll even visit a bus stop. Thank you very much, Sir.


Clearly, I have some work to do if I am to develop SA. I think the goal is well worth the effort, and I appreciate the good advice and good counsel. Thank you all for the gift of time and knowledge your posts represent.
