(12,132 posts)I could see Dallas from my back yard (lol - unlike Mrs. Palin, I had to get on my roof though...and usually got a beating for it)...but I could also ride my bike and be in farm/ranch land in minutes. I don't think I'll ever forget the steamy morning smell of the cow pastures as we rode the bus to school through them...
I can easily see there being a difference between Highland Park and D'ville...
oh I just remembered, the principal of our little school was known to carry a Walther PPK in his brief case or on his person at all times. I've never known my step-father to be without at least 2 guns nearby. That's just one of the many reason that I moved away from there at 17 and have only seen him 3 or 4 times since then and nonce since my mom's funeral. (Frankly, I'm just surprised the cancer got her before he shot her.)
