Don't let this scare you away. I may beach and moan a bit, but the truth is that I am very happy to live here and the benefits greatly outweigh the occasional difficulties.

Before we moved here we lived on a small tropical island in Panama. Those who came to visit us saw it as paradise--beautiful beaches, low cost of living, warm weather year round, a close knit community, etc. When we decided to leave most were incredulous--"why would you leave paradise?" I saw it for what it was, a beautiful place but it still had issues--sometimes we would run out of water or electricity, sometimes we couldn't find provisions at the local market, we often had to deal with corrupt politicians looking for bribes/handouts. I still loved it there, but instead of calling it "paradise" I called it "paradise with warts." The same is true with TV-it ain't perfect (no place is), but it sure is nice. Consider TV paradise with warts.
