We have a guy at the airport who rides lots. He retired, but they recalled him
part time. He's not thin, but doesn't really look like the typical Bavarian or
Turkish loader here, they have a tendancy towards more roundness than I carry.

I almost said "We're all native foreigners". Being a native American-english

with an acceptable morphological variant for those of you who call yourselves
'Cymry' ? Uuuuh, this is getting convoluted.
