This may belong in the free speech but this is where everybody hits. Why doesn't everybody put there location in their profile, so we can tell whether or not we have nieghbors. I didn't do it at first either ! If this site is gonna take off we may as well stalk each other too :dscared:

I am sort of itinerant. Supposed to be "from" upstate New York, but my current landing site is still up in the air.
I could have stopped by Cape Cod last week, did a job in Falmouth.

If your just asking Bay Window people (pretty much everyone for the moment) then this is the place. If you want to know for all members, they probably wouldn't see it here so "Free Speech" would get a more accurate reply.

Does itinerant have any connotations. Or does it simply mean "One who travels from place to place."

Oh, I'm a Chicago northsider. My profile say something to that effect

It just sounded like that kind of word. Fairly simply defined, but the shading of meaning holds much more. Can I ask why you chose it?

From Wikipedia:

An itinerant is a person who travels from place to place with no real home.

Examples of itinerant groups include:

* Nomads
* Roma people
* Hobos
* Tramps
* Schnorrers
* Vagabonds
* Irish Travellers
* Perpetual travelers

This is me now: So hobos, tramps and vagabonds have certain cultural attachments to them. Itinterant, well you introduced me to the word so, since you chose it, I figured I'd ask...

I liked the sound. Most other names considered by the several people who suggested that I try this air-cooled education experiment sounded sort of flat over time. This one seems to wear well. . . except for the spelling that has to be spelled out.

We're a little itinerant too. We spend most of the year in San Francisco, part of the year on the lovely island of Bonaire (in the Caribbean), and many weekends in Covelo (Mendocino County).

May I suggest a format for location? It works well when sorting by location in the memberslist...
Like,,, FL-Tampa

I live on my sailboat floating on San Francisco Bay, and my bus is the daily driving, home away from home, and extra storage space vehicle.

south central Indiana for the most part, just a rural-raised individual with nothing in the garage but a bunch of VW parts growing up. Now, as an adult, still the same me with more parts collected for helping out others and keeping the Magic Bus on the road.

Any one else in Indiana?
