1/6 You only think you want to live in the country. Some people suffer
from the mistaken belief that they want to live on acreage far from
city life, a la Green Acres. Some years ago one of my Tucson, Ariz.,
in-town neighbors did just that. She sold her home and bought
another home in the desert. Communing with nature was fine until a
country coyote ate her city dog that took a lot of the glamour away
from the rural life. I've recently made friends with a couple who
emigrated to Tucson as retirees from Florida. They, too, thought they
wanted the romance of the rural home life away from it all. But now
they want to move into town. There is nothing to do at home in the
country, they say, and even as retirees, they dislike the commute
to do fun stuff in town. They are far enough out that even grocery
shopping is an expedition. --Christina B. Farnsworth
\_ I went to Tuscon once. Living in Tucson itself is already like
living in the country compared to the sf bay area. Living "outside"
a place like Tuscon might as well be the moon. |
