I don't know if I'd say it's common but, if this is new to you on this one? Then yes, it's more common. I've got to agree that this one's different in that the landing's a bit quieter and the population seems much more amenable to my presence than I'm used to. The lack of Spider Wolves in particular is a nice bonus, but I don't think I'll go kicking my feet up anytime soon. Call it habit.
That sounds like as good a reason as any to extend an invitation. I'd even be willing to give up half the pie if you can bring a handheld radio for us to listen to a ball game on. T.V. might not be the same as being there, but even still it's a poor substitute for the crackling radio.
