Well, he and my sister go to the Smokey Mtns twice sometimes 3x's a year. I finally asked him one time if the Mtns. grew another tree, another mtn, etc. He looked at me and said "Understood" and he's never said anything about my many trips again.

Heck, I don't even make a decision on which Park to visit - I just go to the park of whichever bus pulls up first. I make enough decisions at work!
