People ask for and need real answers to real questions. If there is a specific
factor that needs to be aired, fine, and commuting times and distances do
need to be addressed, but not as just another excuse to express disdain for
suburban lifestyles.

RR is not my cup of tea, either, which is why we bought in a different area,
but as I've said, tens of thousands of people seem to be quite happy there
and I do not think it is right to criticize them for that choice or to constantly
imply that they don't have the insight to know what they are doing.

Many of them DON'T have the insight Mike.

There are other places in New Mexico where you will

Most people don't like anyplace in New Mexico.
I like it that way.

Therefore, I frequently troll the "outside" forums and diss the state
and specific towns. It keeps out the "riff-raff."

So what you are basically saying is that he is one of the 3-5% of huge truck drivers who actually drives one of those things for a reason.

I still remember helping my neighbors move out by borrowing my friends similarly huge old, white, Chevy pickup with dents and rust and obvious work use injuries all over it.

The first thing my sexist neighbor said was
"Oh! Your friend must have a really small ____ ."
What a piece of work. I was glad to get rid of them.
