When I was a kid I lived in Longmont Colorado - population about 40k. It had its share of problems. At age 13 my family moved to a small town in northeast South Dakota. Poulation 206. My family was 4% of the poulation. It had some nice things too, but very few. Except for the few wife beating drunk husbands, crime was zero. Pollution was zero. You could walk down to the post office to get your mail in about 4 minutes(it was on the otherside of town).

When I was 16 my parents got divorced and we moved to the Denver greater metro area. I was bored when I first moved here. That was 30 years ago.

I sometimes miss the country life. People were definately were more friendly and involved with eachother. Involved had many meanings too btw.

I do wish people weren't so busy all the time. I wish they could take time out to slow down and enjoy eachothers company. Thus the grey brown dead grass.

nice post

The "Greener Pasture Syndrome".

While you may find a pasture more suited to your tastes, they're all pretty much the same. If you hate one, you'll most likely hate them all.
