OMG. And here I thought living 10 miles south of Madistan, WI (The Berkley of the Midwest) was tough!
You must be making really good money to stay there, or have some other pertinent family obligations keeping you there; I can barely stay above sea level living in the surreal "Reality Zone" that surrounds Madistan, LOL!
Actually I just started a job working with at-risk kids and had to agree to a one-year committment. I'm not making much money but love the work. If not, I'd have been out of here last fall.
