I lived in quite a few places until I moved to Lawrence in 1973.
Now I have no interest in moving though I would like to revisit some of the places I have been, and then return to Lawrence to reflect.

That's what I wondered too Starlight. If it's specific dwellings, I couldn't even begin to remember, especially factoring in the kajillion places I lived in when in college. I figure they mean towns/states.

How long must one live in a place in order to count as “living” somewhere? Michigan(3 months), Hawaii (year and a half), North Carolina(year and a half), Pennsylvania (24 or so years), Kansas(6yrs). Now, I live on a Navy taxi for 6months but hit many different ports (Corfu, Tel Aviv, Egypt, Paris, Spain, Italy, Sicily, Turkey, Albania, Tunisia, and a few more but old age has allowed me to forget.

Moved 40+ times before I was married at age 22; 30 times in a 31-year marriage. That has to be the record, at least for posters..

And there was the Winnebago.
It was a 36 footer and had been originally constructed for a Casino in Las Vegas as a sort of large party van.
Pretty much open in the front with a kitchen, a head with a large tub and shower and two separate bedrooms.
Lots of free open space; enough to lay your hat and a few friends.
It was actually a nice thing to live in.
