I realize that most of you, given national demographics, are living in urban jungles or just on the periphery of one.
When you talk of "get out and do things" you are, of course, talking about all the services and amenities of living in a city.
But when I walk out, I am in the middle of several thousand square miles of forest and farmland, dotted by tiny teensy towns where half the residents are in retirement homes, a quarter have yet to graduate high school and the other quarter are, primarily, married.
For some of us, -this- is "our community". Coming here is "getting out" and socializing. We make friends, share triumphs and tragedies, here.
There are many benefits to country living, but being able to easily socialize with like-minded others is not one of them.
What do you say?
