Capital cities (and cities) are fine - not for me, however.I personally don't want to live in a city..been there, done that. <br /><br />The quiet life here in my little rented cabin with no fence to fence neighbours; a good distance away from the madding crowd - up here in our lush, tree-filled village on the hill (with a population of approx 5,100 people) suits me just fine, Yorkie. When I win the Lotto...I'll buy a secluded little cabin of my own, nestled on the foreshore of a secluded little beach somewhere...sans people...but with golden sand leading down to the waters edge! Note I said "when"! lol<br /><br />And I don't mind catapults as long as they're not aimed at me. I can think of a few people they should be aimed at, though! ;)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-15892615547048707132015-12-08T00:36:38.064+00:002015-12-08T00:36:38.064+00:00How about capital cities and catapults Lee?

I regularly give money to two animal welfare organizations and have become a supporting member of wikimedia (the organization behind wikipedia) this summer. That's all, and I know I could do more with all the money piling up on my bank account. I'm just too selfish and lazy.
