My Dad is about to have is 82nd birthday in a couple weeks. I call him often - he lives in another state - just to chat and to see what he's up to and he frequently asks me "so what's going on with your "TomFoolery?" - this is another of his names for our hobby. He seems to enjoy the stories I tell of my adventures, where I go, what interesting places and things I've found, and who I have met along the way. Sometimes the conversations go a different way, where he's wondering how come I haven't been bothered by the local LEOs
and I tell him I try to be stealthy. He claims the people in his small city are paranoid and if they saw someone staring at a pine tree or a guard rail or wandering around behind a local establishment, they'd call the authorities.
Congrats to Timpat for FTF!!
