Those New York values....lol

Ya huh? Oh ya, the wrist, yes...the wrist is always a problem in small cities. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

What you didn't know that??? Lol

 

Yes.

I would visit any place in the world (if i could afford it) just to experience for myself. That's all i'm saying.

 

No but I'll pretend I did

 

And that is your preference. Calling someone closed minded because they dislike large crowds of people because it is their preference is stupid.

 

Papa, I, and my wife, have driven all over this US with the exception of the North Eastern parts. I've been as far East as Eastern Tenn just this past year but not North of that location. If I get the chance to go to the NE I would rather drive up the Western side of New York state on my way to Maine and the New England states. New York City holds no interest for me at all. Washington DC might be interesting if I can put up with the rotten smell coming out of Congress.
I continue to be drawn to the Western desert states because of the clean, clear remoteness of those areas.

 

Jase, I'm a country boy from the bottom up. I honestly don't like large crowds or large cities so I just have no desire to visit those places. It has nothing to do with being close minded but how remoteness makes me feel free. I've been in Seoul Korea, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, plus a few other large cities and not a single one of them made me feel comfortable.

By the way, news stories, since they're news stories and not fiction, are a very accurate way of judging an areas advantages and disadvantages. After a few decades of this kind of information one can pretty well settle on an attitude toward these places.

 

They're full.

 

I feel that the rural areas of the country offer so much more then the big cities when it comes to the US. Ive seen Boston, NY, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas, St Louis, SLC, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas as well as smaller cities spread across the country. I'll take the grand canyon, Yosemite, Big Sur, Florida Keys, Smoky Mountains, and other areas that take an effort to get to and enjoy over any of the cities in the world.

But that of course is personal preference and I understand that some people may enjoy the city life and have no reason to venture outside of the confines of them, that's fine.

Not everyone can handle the crowded environment and not everyone can handle not being within a couple or more miles away from anyone. To each their own...

 

LOL, I can tell that you've never been to the Big Bend in far West Texas. No self respecting jackrabbit would be caught trying to live there.

 

Orvis, by any chance, do you like to sit on the porch?

 

No, he likes to set on the porch.

 

and play the banjo?

 

nekkid

 

And there goes dinner...

 

Wrinkled Lives Matter

 

And there goes breakfast...

 

You got a grip against me? I think you do...
Man crash?....LOL

 

Was grip intentional? If so, man crash makes sense.

 

Ferguson Missouri, around August of 2015?
