    Depends on where you live. My community really sucks (Terre Haute, Indiana), but I do a lot of regional exploration. You don’t have to travel all that far, maybe a day at most, to find new and interesting things.

      Does Terre Haute still have that smell? Been a while since I’ve been there but when my wife was in school at ISU, I distinctly remember that funk of the wind was blowing right.

      I almost moved to Terrible Hole for a while … I still wound up in Indiana, though, so I guess it was moot.

        Depends on where in Indiana. We grew up in Bloomington and have many friends there and it’s a decent town overall, even though it’s in Indiana, so we’d love to move there. We can’t afford a house there, but it’s a nice dream.

      Depends on you. My community sucks but I enjoy gardening, grafting, hiking, hunting for delicious mushrooms, bird watching, boating and building stuff. Not to mention flying and fishing.

        I don’t really like most of that, but I do like exploring diverse cultures. And I can do that if I just drive a little. Which is a hell of a lot cheaper than backpacking through Europe.
