I think that people from heavily populated areas are meeting a lot of people from more rural areas in a personal way. At first...we may be feeling a little strange to each other.

Almost all of us have gone to New York to visit, but not many New Yorkers come to West Chester, Ohio on vacation or business.

We have different styles and different life experiences.

We seem different sometimes, but are we really? Do we have different expectations from each other? Do we think the other is dumb? Unpolished? Unsophisticated? Backward? Rude? Pushy? Wimpy?

That answer lies in who you ask and who answers honestly.

Show me someone who doesn't love the place they were born and raised and think it superior to others.

Show me someone who doesn't love the WAY they were raised and think it superior to others.

Whatever the case, here we are together until the fat lady sings.

Is she the fat lady from the Met or the fat lady from an Ohio farm?

P.S. Bagels are kinda hard and chewy. You must try some soft, fragrant yeasty rolls from OHIO!!!
