Home has been where the AF sends me for the past 23 years - every place has its good points (and bad.) The main disavantages of the northeast are:
Prices
Looney politicians
traffic
winter
Disadvantages of my current location:
Dust from the farms
Fine dining = Applebee’s
Shopping = WalMart
But I can’t complain about the 3-minute commute to work. (Seven minutes if I have to walk.)
The Courant staff ranks with the faculty of Harvard in the Buckley “people I would want to govern me” test - well below the first 400 names in the Boston phone book. I really don’t have any problem with the sweeping generalizations, especially if the give me the opportunity to give someone a hard time (in a good-natured way.)
I am with you on the Buckley “phone book test”...:)
Thanks for your service, and...the good natured hard time!
