Move? How in the world could we do that? I have no money to move. I just
spent the last of what I did have fixing this place up. And when we first
moved here, this was a rather sleepy city. Farm country. But not long after
the big boom occurred and suddenly everyone and his brother wanted to move
here. Which is partly why the crime rate has escalated. Too many people
moving in and not enough law enforcement around. But it's pretty much like
that everywhere here now. Wouldn't really matter where we moved to, assuming
that was even an option. You just never know what will happen.
