I keep asking people who live outside the cities, villages, and hamlets 
whether they can think of their house as a farmhouse.  That often sends 
people for a loop, but a fair number have been able to say "yes, 
definitely."

I'm still figuring out whether or not my own house will work that way.

I should probably clarify that my note about plowing sidewalks was 
serious, and that I enjoyed George's remarks too.

Thanks,
