Are you a city or country person?

[Colorado Osprey]

I know a lot of us that want to not associate ourselves as city people.... even though we might be.

Here is a check list to see where you fall.
- Do you open a gate or cross a cattle guard to get onto your property?
- Is your driveway measures in 10's or 100's or 1000's of yards... Miles?
- Are you on city water/sewer?
- Does your power go out every time there is any type of storm?
- Do snow drifts caused by wind exceed your car/house height?
- If you talk or yell can your neighbor hear you.... without a phone?
- If you shoot in your yard does anyone call the local law enforcement?
- Do you have to drive more than 15 miles/minutes to go get gas/food/groceries?

Lastly, Do you leave your keys in your vehicles and your house is always unlocked?



I know that personally what bothers me most is when I have to go to town and I remember to lock my truck, but forget to actually take my keys out of the ignition!

- Do you open a gate or cross a cattle guard to get onto your property? Gate...but it's never closed.
- Is your driveway measures in 10's or 100's or 1000's of yards... Miles? .4 mile
- Are you on city water/sewer? Septic and well
- Does your power go out every time there is any type of storm? Not so much these days
- Do snow drifts caused by wind exceed your car/house height? Occasionally
- If you talk or yell can your neighbor hear you.... without a phone? Maybe...if they're outside
- If you shoot in your yard does anyone call the local law enforcement? They did once...but didn't again after they saw the deputies shooting with me - including some select fire stuff.
- Do you have to drive more than 15 miles/minutes to go get gas/food/groceries? 20 mins

Lastly, Do you leave your keys in your vehicles and your house is always unlocked? Leave the keys in the truck a lot...rarely lock the house - someone is almost always home.

I think I fall in between...I'm right on the edge of town; I don't cross a cattle guard or gate but I go over my bridge for the irrigation canal; we're on city water but have a septic system; my driveway is over 100 yards long; the only way I can yell loud enough for the only neighbor I have to hear me is if I walk up to the end of the driveway; I can walk out my sliding glass door and shoot skeet over my alfalfa field and nobody cares (unless the wife is watching TV!); but I can drive 1.5 minutes and be at the gas station, the hardware store (been in the same place and owned by the same folks since the 30's) the little grocery store, the bowling alley, the feed store, the florist, the little old pharmacy that still has a no-kidding real soda fountain, the county courthouse, the post office, or town hall. Another couple of minutes I can make it to the auto parts store, the steel yard, or the car wash. We only have 4 restaurants, if you include DariLand. Of course, town is around 900 people, and that's about half the population of the whole county.

Lots of folks around here don't lock their doors, never mind their cars. The only crime is from bored teenagers, and they always figure out who did it.

I love it.

No, only because have not put up gate yet.
Driveway/private road about 3/8 mile.
County water and septic.
Pretty lucky, power rarely goes out unless some moron knocks down pole or tornado knocks down a bunch of poles.
Snow drifts regularly bury cars/trucks, wind blows alot out here.
If all parties are outside and all is quiet, if scream bloody murder you might get one neighbors attention.
Everybody shoots in their yard and nobody cares, unless stuck doing chores and can't participate.
Nearest towns, 13 miles one way, 30 miles the other.

No keys in cars and house regularly locked. Had a neighbor come by one day concerned about strange car in driveway. Made the mistake of coming in house(unlocked), forgot that dog might be home(dog usually goes everywhere with us). Took him 20 mins to get out and got bit twice. Was smart enough to not hurt the dog. Wife demands doors locked now.

I grew up in the country and I miss it, but we had some scumbags that lived down the road a ways, and my mother's family were special. We almost always had everything locked up. One of the benefits of going home, I can escape suburbia. I like the convenience sometimes, but I miss being able to step out my back door and shoot the f'ing coyotes.

I figured you still considered yourself a big-city boy living in Plattsmouth and all.

[encorehunter]

My job required me to move into city limits. Now they have changed the rules, so I am looking to move back into the country. Growing up we had no electricity and no running water until I was 16. The nearest neighbor was a mile away across country, 2.5 miles by road.

It just isn't living unless there is a neighborhood bar on every corner, parallel parking is the only way you know, and you take the bus because you don't want lose the really good parking spot in front of your house
