From the northwestern half of northeastern Pennsylvania. Rocks, rattlesnakes, and Republicans. Our governor, Philadelphian Phast Eddie Rendell hates us, judging by the way he’s cut way back on road repairs and snowplowing for the past several years. The whole county only has 6000 people, all in one school district. We’re so far back in teh woods that my wife, on a missionary trip, went to her first “Ruby Tuesday” franchise restaurant in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, years before there were any within driving range back home. In a century and a half, we’ve seen tiny economic banglets from old-growth pine and hemlock, hard and soft coal, dairy farming, and re-growth hardwood timber. Now it’s a few super-deep natural gas frac wells. Pennsylvania today - New New Jersey meets North West Virginia.
