Ah yes, the heartland, the flyover states. We've driven through them a couple of times now and the country is beautiful but I wouldn't live there if you paid me to either. The bigger the land it often seems the smaller the minds.
You've often made me laugh but maybe that's different :-)
Well, you're my natural audience, and suchlike. :)
The fact that I'd be reluctant to live in much of Middle America says more about me, I'm sure, than about those places. I like the convenience of having nearby stores, nearby people.
Somehow, I just don't see you driving a pickup truck.
