Hey Bret

[metweezer]

How come you have over 15k posts but your Avatar shows up as 12k (2 gold and 2 lead boolits)?

[Bret4207]

Huh. Ummmmm, I dunno. Probably a racial issue or something about my sexual orientation or the way I smell or something. Could be they figured 12K of worthless posts by a guy with virtually no other contact with the outside world was enough?

[Gunload Master]

Actually when I created the ranks, I didnt think anyone could possibly reach 12,000 posts for a long time... I will get some more made up :)

Bret--

Contact with the outside world is over-rated and often disappointing. Hence our move to BFE Ridgecrest 3+ years ago. Kind of a South Park, with sagebrush and chukars.

I'm pretty sure Macomb NY can at least match Ridgecrest Ca in alone time.

still a lot of quiet places in our country hopefully we we always have them.

Hey Bret,

Come to central Kentucky when you want to take a trip to the "country".

I have a neighbor from up your way. His father-in-law was coming through visiting Mammoth Cave and had his travel home break down. Called son-in-law who happens to be a cracker jack mechanic to drive down from north of Albany to fix the vehicle. Father-in-law made it back to New York, son-in-law moved entire family here and opened his own garage.

He says that rural people here and from his area of up-state New York are very much alike and that the country even looks somewhat similar. He also says that you get to see the countryside a whole lot longer without snow on it down here than his old area, but you just can't have everything!

I figure the Golden Boolit award makes the rest kinda superfluous.
