#I'm back
Well, up here in northwest Carroll County the only thing that's the problem
is the pungent smell of fertilizer on the fields in the spring and fall.
Everybody always asks me why I'm living out here in the middle of nowhere, and
I tell 'em, well, virtually no crime (1 murder per year county average, none
unsolved since 1954–the six resident state troopers are the whole police
department), lower property taxes, decent roads and schools, and the fact that
I'm living comfortably in a nice $400,000 house by Montgomery County standards
which I paid $155,000 for.
And the only noise is the occasional helicopter going to or from Camp
David….
