I'm a country girl through and through. The only draw back to being so far out in the country and up in the mountains is....

*hold your ears PF*

You have to drive miles (literally) just to buy a pair of panties! There is not one single place within 10-15 miles of me...to purchase a pair of underwear! The running joke around here goes something like this...

We keep getting more and more housing, and are getting more and more drug stores and grocery stores...not to mention schools (tax me out the wazzoo, why doncha)...but, we'll all be going commando if they don't put in a fuckin Super WalMart!

The plan was to build a Super WalMart very close to me, but the elders around this place HATE change and don't want big stores to build on their land (undeveloped and not being farmed in years...kinda land...some call it green space, but it can't get any more green around here if we tried!)...and they keep going to the public meetings and shooting down the locations for new growth! It doesn't matter what EVERYONE else wants...they won't sell their land to the big chains...but they'll sell off bits and pieces to the small developers so they can build new housing. Does that make a damn bit of sense to anyone? For crying out loud, we will NEED at least one store around here or, soon, everyone will be pantiless!

Oh shit! *looks down and sees that the soap box has slipped under my feet again*

Sorry bout that....lol!

Anyway...I watch the news in the morning and see the commute into the city (Philadelphia) and watch the traffic jams and accidents, and think to myself, "It wouldn't matter how much they paid me to work in the city, I couldn't take the mad rush"!
