I had a little over 40 acres. The people who were near me weren't transplants from any city, they were country people. I do have some good memories, but a lot of bad ones too.
I think a lot of people in this forum think too highly of country folk, not realizing there are good and bad in both places.
I worked for a large children's hospital and worked every Saturday. Those fellows would party every Friday and Saturday night. The way the hills were, everything echoed. Railbuggies, dirtbikes, 4-wheelers, angry girlfriends who acted like men.
I live in town now. It does get loud during the daytime with all the cars, but at least I'm far from those people.
