Sgt Bull,

I share your opinions for the most part, having come from rural Upstate NY and moving to the DC area for work.

I have been here almost 4 years, and I still have to make regular trips outside the beltway to help keep my sanity.

Spending time among the working "professionals" here has started to make me a cynic, but more sad to think about some of the people and their lives here. I realize how blessed I have been to be able to work and live in real America, and it seems to me like most of the people that have been born and raised in this area are really missing out on something. I miss the simple pleasures of hearing frogs in the swamp, looking at actual stars (too bright for that here) and just the ability to spend a cool evening on a porch (it stays too hot here because DC is built on a swamp, and all the concrete holds the heat in)

You are right that the traffic is awful (I believe 3rd worst in the country), and many people are rude. The tourist trade is what keeps most of downtown going, and it is rather expensive for anything, especially food and bottles of water. My apologies that you missed the American History museum (The company I first worked for here in VA is actually responsible for the engineering design of the renovation, thats part of why it isnt open yet, and why I dont work there anymore :) )

Regardless, I dont want you thinking that everyone here in the east, or in DC even is all that bad. There are a lot of good folks around here, its just hard to find them somedays. Thats not to say Im not headed back towards rural life as soon as I can swing it.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
