One reason I like living in the country...the people.

This made me laugh-
Coming home from work last night, I stopped to buy a bottle of whisky and some Coke. (Otherwise known as dinner at my house). Walked up to the self scanner, scanned the Coke, and while setting it down on the bagging carousel, I dropped the fifth of whisky. Broken glass and a whole bunch of whisky all over the concrete floor.
Middle aged woman employee comes up and says "Don't worry about it, this happens all the time. You go get another bottle...I'M GONNA GO GET A STRAW".
A humorous moment in a rather shitty day. Good people.
 
You're right! I used to travel alot for my job and when I was in the middle of nowhere
at some power station and the locals were always friendly.
 
That's the reason we would do road testing in rural areas, one, seclusion the other, people are really nice. We popped a weld loose on a front fender of a prowler car we were testing and the local gas station let us use there car stall and welder to repair.

Yup valley clowns here want 25 just to lift the car. City clowns won’t even look at the car no parking
 
We love living well outside the city limits . I left a review on Google earth of my neighbors house .
It said " Great Neighbor free beer " . His buddies teased him for years. He (Mark ,mid 40's ) and I have shot bottle rockets over each others houses for years . Quite often my tools ,trucks,trailers are being used by him for days at a time .He plows our driveway with his tractor and brings us firewood.
He also has very cool gun range in his back yard ,which we are encouraged to use .

Ha! I'm the one with the 200yd. range that my neighbor and I both use.
 
Remember those small, thin white plastic bags that came on the scene in the 1980's? Purchased a bottle of tequila in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico back then. When we got home (El Paso, Texas) I grabbed the bag from the car and the mere weight of the bottle of liquor was enough for it to pass through the bottom cheap plastic bag. Bang on the driveway concrete and goodbye to the intoxicating liquid.
