Ha, ha! Wealthy? I think not. Comfortable, yes. Wealthy, no. Just dumbass retired civil servants and Social Security recipients. Your day is coming, OB. Waitin' fer you ta become effete. That'll be a sight!

I can vouch for it! Can Whole Foods (paycheck) and Starbucks be far behind?

lol Well, only certain parts of Michigan are actually up with the times. The government isn't so much. If you go up north it is probably worse than where I am at now. They still use dial up in some areas. My parents didn't get DSL until probably two years ago and that is with a town that is 4 x the size of Crocker. We did find a place down here. I had to contact City Hall and stuff. So if anyone ever asks you can suggest that. I would find empty properties and contact City Hall to see who owned them and then look up the person lol.
