[ADXA] BIC vs. BOF

[Dennis Schaefer]

George, I don’t see how you do it from the middle of town.  Noise anywhere
in town  is bad enough, but you’re within range of a lot of business-type
noise generators.  80 and 160 would be very difficult.  It’s bad enough
here, and I have it good compared to many.   I wonder if the crypto mining
operation in Moreland will increase my noise level….

I may never catch up to you, but it’s fun trying!
