I can’t stand living in this town. I remember when it wasn’t so built up. You would hardly ever see another car on the highway on a Sunday. They’re tearing down more woods to build another strip mall. So much traffic today when we were going out to help a cousin. A bunch of people aimlessly wandering. Reliefers spending the money I provide them as a working class citizen.
I’m wondering if we don’t belong here anymore. I had a tension headache until we got out into the country for some fresh air.
By the way my cousin has to move into section 8 housing. He’s getting older with mental disabilities so the poor sap has to move closer into town. He gave me some taxidermy fishies, God love him…

Nice largemouth bass. How long are those?

Nothing like living in the country! Only go to city if i have too

I’d have to measure them!! I’m not sure!

It's only getting worse.

Everyone likes the country when they visit. Then they move there. Pretty soon, no more country.

Made a wrong turn into metro AZ,,,,,, think your towns suck,,,,lol

I understand but why should I have to suffer?! I know that not everybody was built for country living tho.
I could prob manage!
I gotta few skills!! And some pals on T man

We only suffer what are mind allows

Life is suffering. It prepares you for later.

If you guys lived here you would prob murder someone

My plan is to move to the county some day.

Sounds nice! I just want some open space for a couple chickens and maybe some messy little ducks! Khaki camp bells!!!

Get out in the country where you belong. I just walked in the house after watching the bass hitting insects on top of the water in our pond. Caught some crappie earlier today, went to look for a groundhog hole also, due to some game cam photos. I didn’t find the hole or the groundhog, but I will. Now, in a few minutes, I will go outside, a beer in hand, and listen to the coyotes as they start their night time activities.
You should not have to suffer, and it will happen if you want it!

I live in the woods, can't see any houses until the leaves drop off. Most that come here don't stay long because they say it smells so bad. A couple chickens, ducks and geese are dinner for the fox, coyote, bobcat, coon, owls and fisher in these parts.

Containment and protective measures need to be taken to keep them alive as best as you can. Free range birds don't last long around here.

Country living is great especially with no real close neighbors. Coyotes and owls are heard almost nightly.

Move North,nobody around at all if you dont want to see anyone.
This is my 5 mile long driveway to the cabin

Gosh how pretty!!!! ^^^^

My only neighbors are corn plants most of the year,
and then they get picked or chopped & I'm good
for the rest of the year !!

I'm good....I can pee off my porch.

I'm old enough to remember when my area of southeast PA was truly rural. Tens of thousands of acres of farmland and relatively few people in the country. Then came the developers offering obscene amounts of money to hard-working farmers who never even dreamed about having that much money. The Amish farmers wouldn't sell, thank God for them or the entire area would be one giant suburb by now.

Some of the dutch farmers told them to get off their property and never come back but many sold. And urban sprawl happened. And it's still happening.

When I moved to my current home in 1989 it was in a pretty rural area for SEPA. Only two cars and a school bus went by my house most days. As urban sprawl continued housing developments sprang up all around the area. None were closer the five or six miles but it put a lot more traffic on the area roadways.

Some of the development dwellers figured out that my 1.5 mile long road is a shortcut between them and the nearest city 18 miles away. We have regular rush hours now.

I have a second home/camp in north central PA near the NY border. There are no paved roads in my township and I'm the last stop for electricity. There are no rush hours except in deer and turkey seasons. It's where I go to get away from the rat race.

Me too, although, I do get a few odd looks from the neighbor boys. The wimmin' not so much.
