Would you rather see society change to a better standard for all inhabitants, or revert back to the standards of the 1700's?

With all the improvement in the past 300 years I would have to stick with now although we passed through an Amish community yesterday on way to Notre Dame and they really seem quite content with their simple life, while still knowing what else is out there is the rest of the world.



Would you rather own a Chick Fil A franchise that makes you rich but consumes most of your waking hours (except Sunday :))
or own start your very own restaurant and take all the risks and rewards?

I hear ya on the simple life. Sometimes I wish all I needed to do was find food and keep a roof over my head. Perhaps that's why I bought some bike packing equipment this week and going to try it... bike all day, eat, and sleep with few other concerns. Sounds wonderful.

I'd rather own my own restaurant. More freedom to pick what you want to make and how to make it.

Would you rather go on a bike packing adventure solo or with a group?

That is akin to asking me if I would rather have a burger or pizza....yes and YES but since I have to pick I will choosing a group because frankly I have a lot to learn and I feel we are meant to be (created for if you will) with other people.

Right handed. I remember in school when kids had to write essays and were left handed, their hands smeared through the ink and made their pages messy.

I would rather watch a game at Jimmy John's Park in Utica. They know how to entertain the crowd!

I think everyone above 40 would say rural upper MI and younger could go either way.

Mrs. AARR and I haven't been to a movie in over two years so we'll go with Top Gun 2 (please tell me Tom Cruise is not in it)

Would you rather snorkel with whales or hike a South American Rainforest? Both with professional guides.

Both would really be something but I suppose the whales. Are we talking humpbacks or Orcas?

The first for sure but I tend to do both, although when I do the laundry it it is something a monkey could do "You put some clothes in a machine and pressed START, get over yourself." But if Mrs Michael does it then I have to hear how she had to walk 12 miles each way to dried out creek bed to beat clothe against a damp rock while carrying 3 small children simultaneously breastfeeding them and home schooling them, stopping only to pick berries and feed the homeless. :lol: :lol: :lol:




Would you rather be a car mechanic or an airplane mechanic.....or a work on diesel locomotives?

When Mrs. AARR was a stay at home mom it was the first. After she went back to work I changed to the second.

Busses. It just seems so much easier, cheaper and more practical.




Would you rather see 1 of your paper railroads come to life or 3 of someone else?
