Well . . . you like living in a Mid-Atlantic/Shallow South small town. The kind of small-town life you describe does sound pleasant up to a point, but it is not the kind of life you'd have in a small town in New England, for instance.
Well, yeah, I've lived in Maryland my whole life--northern Maryland, for that matter! I don't make any claim to universality. I don't know that I would like living in a small town in Malaysia, Ireland, Peru, or South Africa either.
You don't? That's SHOCKING! How can you write all these stories about other places then? ;)
The tractor thing keeps happening here all the time, too. And now that harvesting season is upon us, the combines are just a matter of time... *dreads*
Indeed, if I could pick up my house and yard and move it anywhere, it would be nearer to the sea! Right now, we're about four hours away, which is better than many people have it, but the farthest I've ever been.
I have family in Tampa! Or, my husband does. I don't envy your hurricanes, but I do envy that it stays warm year-round! :)
I certainly will! My husband and I went to Tampa as a graduation gift to ourselves when we earned our Bachelor's degrees back in 2003. We've been trying to get down there again to finish our scuba certifications, but finances with the both of us still in school (not to mention the great sacrifice of having to go to Ireland last summer for Bobby's thesis research ;) have made travel difficult. Grr. When we were down in '03, we went to the beach on Honeymoon Island, which we loved. Our beaches up here are nice, but the water is cold, which does not agree with me. (I should have been born in the tropics, I think.) I love the Gulf beaches by comparison, with the warm water and lack of waves.
Haha. But it IS fun to respond, "Yes, I'm saying the Bible is wrong" and watch the twitching ensue. Though I also like my (funnily enough, Catholic) friend's response to the Biblical "proof" that God hates homosexuals: "Well, then God is kind of a douche!"
Now, I don't know whether it's fiction or not, but having played telephone, I can imagine God up there saying, "No, no, NO, that's NOT WHAT I SAID, you fools!" ;D

Combines on the road are scary! Especially when they're being driven too fast over blind hills!
Tangent: I signed up for my first linguistics course today that I need to complete my teacher certification ... :^S
