Why do old People?

Holy impatience Batman you guys seem just wound a little tight....

I used to be much more impatient. But moving from city to country, I gotta say, the slower pace is so therapeutic. I have conversations with wrong numbers, chat with complete strangers about their personal issues. I'll take forced slow pace over mandated fast any day. Whenever I get testy in my brain, I tell myself it's good to have a minute to gather my thoughts. Now, sign the goldang check and move on!!!!

JK, I do prefer the mellow pace and taking time for people.

My neighbor, organic farmer, seems to have a feel for when I'm in a rush (on my way driving a kid to practice, etc.). Parks the tractor at the end of my driveway, trapping me. Gotta chew the fat, then "I suppose...." and be off.

I turned down job offers in Rockford, IL and a couple of nice Chicago suburbs; instead, I took a job in little old Barron.  38 years later, I have no doubts that it was the best decision I ever made.  The slower pace here really helped me mellow out and enjoy my life...   especially the people in it.

Grew up in the country on a farm. Turned 18 moved to the big city by 20 I had visions of violence and settled back into a town but as soon as I had money, back to the country!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoy working in the city because I know that at the end of the day I can head back into the country, see fields, see cows, see nice big yards and relieve myself out the back door with NO neighbors to watch

I was running late yestarday and got behind this old lady on a county road. Yes that old lady that could barely see over the wheel, going 35 with no intentions of speeding up.

At first I got alittle hot under the collar and then I realized,,,,,,I AINT NO ANGRY FISH,,,,,,and I also realized that I have sirus radio for these moments, flipped on the Grateful Dead channel and all worries left me.

Plus my son thought that some of the Dead tunes werent bad

I like how you turned this into a cultural opportunity for your boy.  Violin lessons, next?
