You weren't a cop in the 3rd largest county which contains the 4th largest city in the United States. A whole lot more goes on there than in the backwoods of NY. Kinda like where I moved to in East Texas where I grew up. I miss the metropolitan area of Houston mostly because of the retail stores but I love the laid back solitude of rural East Texas. I now live behind a locked gate with a 900 foot driveway in a house you can't see from the road unless you are really looking closely. The fence between me and my neighbor who is a great friend has a gate that remains open all of the time and cattle roam freely between our places. Life is good when I leave the television off except for Texas Aggie Football!
