22. Are you good at managing your time, or would you love to be better organized?
Yes, reasonably good. I used to procrastinate a lot, but eventually found that things went better if I didn't.
23. Do you know how to perform the ‘Heimlich manoeuvre’?
Yes, but I don't know anyone personally who actually needed to use it.
24. Have you ever seen a comet in the sky?
Yes, I have a nice telescope, and I've seen comets. I saw Halley's comet, but it wasn't very impressive that pass through the solar system.
25. ‘Rotomontade’ is a bragging speech or rant. When was the last time you had a really good rant about something?
I rant all the time about things to my cat. He understands enough to ignore it.
26. Have you ever been fruit-picking? What kind of fruit did you pick, and what did you do with them?
Yes. We had apples, peaches and pears in the yard, strawberries in the garden, raspberries and blackberries along the edges of and in woods, and grapes a mini-vineyard. And far from the house we had persimmon trees in the yard, whose fruit was ripe after the first frost. We ate fresh picked fruit all summer, the berries often with ice cream. It depended on how short of funds we were, how diligently we sought out the fruit. By the time the persimmons were ripe, we were a little bored of fresh fruit, but my mother made apple pie this time of the year, which we looked forward to.
27. Do you know how to change a tire on a car? Have you ever had to do it?
Yes, I've changed tires. Back in the day it was a lot more common to have to change flats. I've even rotated tires on a car. These days I let the mechanics do it for me.
28. Have you ever eaten caviar?
Oh, yes. When I visited the Soviet Union they were very interested in letting us try it in hopes we would buy a large can of it to take home with us. Black caviar from sturgeon, the good stuff. It was interesting to have a generous amount with our lunch one day. Nice to say I had several spoonfuls of the stuff. But I can't say I fell in love with it. Nothing wrong with it. Perfectly edible, but nothing I'd care to pay a lot of money to have again!
