My dad was from a town of 400. I would get dropped off for 2 weeks at a time in summer at my grandmother's place when I was a kid. Those were some of my best days as a kid. So much better in rural areas. I am where I am because of kids, my mom, my sisters and the ability to make 60 bucks an hour screwing in light bulbs!!! Well, not all the time. But sometimes I get those jobs. If I could land a job that allowed me to live the way I want to live, I would. Living on the 70 acres behind you would Make for an interesting thread FOR SURE.
15-20 years from now, I'll be outta here.
