So lets see...  what might I be jealous of Krygowski for...

How about living in his self described "tiny house?" I don't think so.
I owned three houses in my life, each one bigger than his.. 

Maybe that he stood in front of a classroom like my mother and
grandmother did?  definitely not.....

How about that he can ride a bicycle... naw.. been there done that..''

How about his claim of a ride across the country? No, I did that, but
all by myself on a motorcycle, "easy rider" style. I went many more
places, saw and did many more things..  and met many more people. 

How about that he sailed single handed in the Caribbean? No. he didn't
do that..  it was me that did that. Same with scuba diving, hiking and
camping in the mountains. I'm pretty sure he never rode a horse, let
alone own one.
