LOL - I was just tuggin' your chain. Yes, I am Appalachian (and proud of
it - a regular 'High Tech Red Neck') - but you were closer to the truth.
That's why I have my day job and do projects on the site too! But the
quality of life IS GOOD! From the time I leave my house, it's about 25
miles before there is more than 2 or 3 cars on the road at the same time,
and it's 31 miles before I hit a traffic light. (the first of two on my way
in . . . ) No zoning laws, no leash laws! A dog, a cat and four goats!
Next year it will be 3 feeder calves as well. Best of all, I can't see the
air and our drinking water was rated best in Ohio and second best in the
nation!
