Well, for entertainment you could go contra dancing, candlepin bowling, skiing or work on a political campaign.
Cars not to buy, convertibles.Get something with 4 wheel drive. You may even want to skip the air conditioning.
If you can get a house with a garage do it because shoveling out gets boring real fast. Try to get a mudroom too.
I live in the Merrimack Vally, I think its kinda suburban but sometimes people say it rural.People here are friendly but not wicked friendly. Don't take it personally. Its not you. When you get here introduce yourself to the neighbors anyway. They will be surprised but thats because they are originally from Massachusetts.

Thanks KP!

My wife and I have been looking for a 4x4 of some sort. I've been looking a real estate for the past week there. Not much with garages and "off street parking" seems to be a hot item. LOL. I love dealing with people who are themselves. I hate the superficial types. I'd rather spend a day with a guy who makes things with his hands than with someone who makes a lot of talk.

Got any auto racing (besides NASCAR at Loudon) in the area. I really like to watch the locals. Dirt is best, but asphalt is fine, too!
