If you can’t rough it, you won’t like it here so go elsewhere...

Oh, no worries. I don’t plan to go there.

I have roughed it, though. A few months living in a tent in a war zone probably qualifies as roughing it. Or the year of living in a tricked out shipping container with no indoor plumbing in that same war zone might also fit the bill, although I thought it was quite a luxury since I had it to myself and the ablution unit wasn’t that far of a walk. Oh, and it had A/C. 😏

Your pardon, please-I wasn’t referring to “you’ in my remarks-I was referring to the tourists whose idea of roughing it is when room service is 5 minutes late-we don’t get many of those out here, thankfully. And thank you for your service.

My hubby said that he was told in Nam about a bird colonel who was rumored to have A/C in his quarters-everyone wanted to know how and where he’d gotten that, but they only talked about it in whispers, when they were away from everyone who might blab. The best I’ve done roughing it is to live off grid...
