We live a small town (pop. 4,000) northerly adjacent to the State capital of Augusta. Our little town has no traffic lights, and one sit-down restaurant that seats, maybe, 20 people, and is open only for breakfast and lunch. Do you think moving to TV will be a culture shock?

Luckily, we live less than a mile from a 36 hole golf course, in a private community (12 homes) built by the family that owns the golf course. One of the owners lives across the street from me. Membership is $955 a year for unlimited play on both courses. We have four nice months to play and a month and a half shoulder season on either end for the diehards. Many years our foursome has been one of the last foursomes to play, with sleet and snow hitting our faces on the home hole: http://www.natanisgc.com/

Oh ya, you can get a burger and fries and a cold beverage at the clubhouse in season.

We are 30 miles from the coast and a 60 miles from the mountains. It is nice living here in the warmer months, but the dark and cold and snow and ice and the heavy clothes is getting to be a drag at our age.

We may be looking to sell in 3-4 years if you know anyone who's interested!

In the rare instance where you and an alligator try out a 40 yard dash, the alligator will win. Thus, if you do challenge a gator, zig zag, they can't move well that way and you may end up the winner.

Its really not a problem here , All you have to do is volunteer to take your neighbors dog for a walk when you want to stretch your legs ,,,
everyone knows that gators like little dogs and their cheap at the pound...I've replaced two so far and the neighbor hasn't even noticed ....

well thought of Fumar ..:girlneener:

I hear gators are afraid of cats? Anyone ever heard of that?

Dirigo (my sides hurt!)

Fume,

I saw your solution to the alligator question.

I will give you permission to send for me when the dog lovers form up around your house with hoods and torches. Then I will show up to speak to the multitude, and I will say to them, "I never heard of this man Fumar. Why do you ask?"
