[BMWCSRegistry] [BMW_E21_Digest] Furniture moving (WOB )

[Art Wegweiser]

Bill,
Columbus is not that far from Nashville. If you needed to have a 
small  bunch of fragile furniture moved, I would haul it myself - 
plan some of sort of vacation travel in between.
Pass on Cincinnati - a town I lived in for one year as a grad student 
and have loathed it ever since.
Louisville is supposed to be a nice town but don't miss Mammoth Cave, 
KY (This is official advice from a professional  geologist)
I hear Hendersonville, TN is a real fun town for urban folk from 
Nashville not used to the wild country
  life.
My daughter-in-law is from Nashville and was a wild woman until 
calmed down by my older son.
The younger son had been married to a Knoxville lady.  Or maybe I 
have them confused.

Did you say a garage is being converted into a dining room? Isn't it 
usually the other way round?

Ever notice what strange views of things sneak up on you as age comes 
on?  Me too.
