Well that is true as well.

I can’t even imagine my back after lounging on a lawn for an hour.

That’s a whole other issue.  I have to worry about seating due to spinal

I love Starchild to death and agree on 90% of things.  But definitely not
on this or having conventions in a field.

   Well that is true as well.
   I can’t even imagine my back after lounging on a lawn for an hour.
   That’s a whole other issue.  I have to worry about seating due to
   spinal stenosis.  Hotel conference room seating is pretty uniform.
   I love Starchild to death and agree on 90% of things.  But definitely
   not on this or having conventions in a field.
