Lord, what did you people think the Springs was before you moved here? We DO have running water and inside toilets here. We don't live in the dark ages.

I'm new to my neighborhood here (Austin Bluffs and Stetson area; in fact...first full day in the house today). The door bell rang and I looked out the peep hole...ah...a religious guy! No question about it. So I opened the door...oops...home security system salesman. I can't help it...he looked the part of a Mormon evangelist!
