Default It's amazing how accustomed you become to small town life.

When I first moved to my small town, I couldn't wait to get back to my hometown, which is a small city. I tried several times to find a job back there, but couldn't. After 5 or 6 years, it got to the point where I enjoyed being in the small town, less traffic, everyone knows you, etc. When I go back to visit my parents or sister, while I enjoy being there, I have to mentally prepare myself to be in that "city" mindset. I still get harassed (read teased) where I live now because I don't wave while driving, still lock my car doors, etc.

I'm sure I can get used to TV, especially as there will be no snow, lots to do, and plenty of friendly people around.
