A lifetime in such a place would drive me nuts! (Er, <i>more</i> nuts!) But at least let me have some variety; that's all I need. Thanks for dropping by, even if it <i>was</i> a tad delayed! :-) I agree completely! A lifetime in such a place would drive me nuts! (Er, more nuts!)

I haven't yet decided if it would be a wonderful experience or if I would dread giving up th anonymity of being one of millions. Your story brought home the fishbowl effect of small towns and while I think it would be a blast to experience it for a little while, a lifetime of it would be overwhelming.

My favorite teaching technique is to sneak a lesson into a story while you're not looking. Makes a better impact that way! And by the way, welcome to the Middle Zone!

Yep, we're all in a fishbowl; welcome to mine and thank you for inviting me to yours.

Next time I'm in the neighborhood, I'll stop by for a lemonade. You're right about the "get to know you" part. Sometimes they REALLY get to know you! :-) Hey, that sounds like fun!

You’re right about the “get to know you” part. Sometimes they REALLY get to know you! :-)

Folks in farm communities are very transparent... You get to know who folks are and they know you warts and all. But, at the same time we're there for each other. We continue to have a neighborhood picnic on July 4th often with a band and dancing and fireworks to top it off. In a way it's like a blogging community you build here on the Internet. Wish we could get together for a picnic! Bob, I live on a four corners across from a dairy farm and I know what you mean.

It takes courage to live and take creative risks in small towns! Do you think that too much scrutiny can slow great minds down at times and if so what strategy could offset that obstacle to creativity? Thoughts? Thanks Bob — what a great story.
