All these little towns are out in the middle of nowhere. When I was there a few years ago, I wondered what kept the locals from going nuts. They cant even pick up TV unless they have a satellite dish. The ones with families have their own relationships to entertain them, but the single retired ones must slowly go bonkers.
Many of the deputies in that area are pro-American, anti-big government, and pro-local control of schools and political matters. They live in this area because they dont want to raise their kids amid the crime of big cities. These are the best type of police to live among.
