As for the description, I think I may know the odd old political science major—and he is very odd.<br /><br /><b>R.J.: </b>Coincidentally, when I first moved to Chicago, I had nowhere to live, either; my car came in handy, but I also relied on the kindness of strangers—hm, there are probably stories in that. Anyway, I agree—I wouldn't trade the experiences, either!<br /><br /><b>chubskulit: </b>Thanks! And, I like your blog!<br /><br /><b>Leslie: </b>Auckland hit a million shortly after I arrived in New Zealand, more than a decade and a half ago, and now it's 1.5 million, and the place has changed very noticeably. So, I can appreciate what you mean.

Congrats to Auckland!<br /><br />Sadly, I a city boy trapped in a country boy's life. I've lived across the street from a dairy farm most of my life. I don't live from Chicago, but rarely get the chance to go out there. I have lived for small times in Phoenix, Arizona and Denver, Colorado. While they weren't the best of living conditions (I lived in my car and a homeless shelter when I lived in those cities), I would not trade the experiences of living in a city for anything. <br /><br />There's a change I may move soon, and if I do, it will be to a city. I cannot bring myself to live in the country anymore and the suburbs are scary. LOLR.J.

I'm best, I think, in a medium-sized city like Albany, with a decent size metro area.<br /><br />Good description, BTW, about the arcane levels of political geography. It's almost as though you were an old political science major, or something.<br /><br />ROG, ABC Wednesday teamRoger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com
