Gabz, there is not a 'territorial' bone in my body..:))
It just happened that I "wandered a lot" (LOL) after leaving my Florida home - -
Crisscrossed America all the way due north into Canada (2 years in Rochester, NY) - twice in Ohio - in South Dakota and Fairbanks, Alaska, going northwest all the way above the Arctic Circle - circled all over the Deep South - so have had a lot of wonderful American Experiences.
"I will jokingly claim I live in the middle of nowhere, and in some ways it is true.....my closest neighbors happen to be 150,000 chickens."
I can identify!
After a wide range of Places To Live, we have deliberately left behind Big Cities and hustle and bustle to enjoy an easy, slow pace in a small town in western South Carolina, and all the benefits thereof.
I know quite well what you describe with all those "Dumb Clucks" around you in that area... |:>))
Your choice of chickens or fish there...
We LOVE your zeal, Gabz, and hope you'll return to The Finest often.
I am so envious. I grew up in NYC, as a teenager I spent my summers on the west coast of Florida, moved to Delaware at 22 and now live in Virginia. I did spend a summer in South America in the 60s, but beyond that my movements have been rather humdrum compared to yours.
I don't ever want to live in a big city again.......I knew that when I was a teenager and I'm coming up on 44....
It's a good thing I love both chicken and fish, living in this area.
South Carolina is a state I've always wanted to spend some time exploring in - but have not yet gotten the chance.....one of these days.
When we first started coming to the Shore after we decided to move here, we always laughed about the nam of one "town," Temperanceville......joking about the reaction any of our friends in Delaware would have to us living in such a place .....we both like beer. We don't live in an incorporated area, but our mailing address is............yup!!!!!
I love the Finest threads and do a great deal of lurking, but rarely post. Just couldn't resist today.
