Oh and Andrew follows up MLC’s home run with a huge hit of his own! I could have actually should have made this point myself but I’m happy to just reinforce it. I could name off dozens that I just personally know that fit this category. There are many more than people might think. Am I slipping into this category? Perhaps I’m already there.

While I live in a place with about 8,500 people, if I drive 20 minutes in one direction I’ll hit 100K. If I go the opposite direction for the same 20 minutes, I’ll be in a population center of 600,000. And I have seen the same thing. I was just talking with someone from here but offline who made the same claim. It was amazing to see the same people over and over - over the span of years.

Andrew I’d say your research and assertions are all very accurate.
