Realizing it's not safe to assume, I will still assume you are retired military? If so, thank you for your service to our country. I understand the moving part but fortunately I didn't have to do much of it when I was in....'course I didn't get to see much but north Texas and the Arizona desert. Where'd ya grow up, Mike?
There must be something in Missouri for me other than my family. I have fled this state three times and vowed never to return to live. Where do I find myself nearing the end of my working life, less than 40 miles from where I grew up. Don't get me wrong, I like Missouri and there are cerainly worse places to be. As with all places it has its charms, here in the Ozarks being one of them. But my plan was to die an old man in the northern Rockies. All I know about that now is I'll leave this little piece of Ozark rocks when they carry me off it.
