Ted, it can't be worse than Ocala,Florida! I have a great life here but damnit, we don't call it Slocala for nothing. If it weren't for the Library and the internet I would have to go. I am for sure the only looper for miles! Atlanta, where I was for 30 years is chaos but always interesting. so it goes, Jeff Out here in the Great Beyond, everything is strange. The sooner you get used to that, the better off you'll be.
