I lived in the city for 42 years, and moved to the country 9 years ago. Country living is far superior.
Did you ever notice that city people will have a place in
the country to get away to, but country people never have a
place in the city to get away to?
My wife occasionally drives down to Los Angeles to visit her family. I used to allow her to drag me along, but I rarely will submit these days. It's just not worth the aggravation.
Moving here was a quaint culture shock. Visiting Los Angeles is a disgusting and ugly culture shock, but you just don't realize it when you live there. Once you escape, your entire frame of reference shifts to normal.
Oh, that’s true.
We’ve had neighbors who had a condos in the big city, mainly because the wives and kids would get stupid bored in the hinterlands. Something about ‘no malls out here’.
I say they weren’t imaginative enough.
