That quaint, country livin'

It isn't for me. Recent change of plans for a long weekend later in the month: Change requires swapped mode of transportation - plane? train? Both modes are ludicrously expensive, or long - respectively. In order to fly out of this town - you must offer up a small child (not necessariy your own) and choose between 2 times to fly...OR, hop the train in the middle of the night if the train arrives on time at all (last time I took the train, it was 3 hours late...and that is typical). Usually, these kinds of "adventures" are totally my thing. Not today. For a place that isn't big on growth and getting people to stay for long periods of time - they also make it quite hard to leave by any other mode aside from a personal vehicle. Yes...I'm feeling a bit snarky today. Bleh!!!
