Livin' is easy...

Those who live in lower-density areas generally have an easy life. Traffic is not too bad, lines are not too long.

Cow will never forget her first experience moooving to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. She had the gas and electric turned on and a phone connected all on the first day in town. No lines, no waiting. We'll be out there this afternoon! It was a real culture shock to a Big City Cow who was used to waiting a week or two for any service call.

One bite at a time, Population Density makes living harder. Parking isn't free anymore, and spaces aren't available. Traffic jams are a fact of life. Lines are everwhere. Mooovies are sold out. Restaurants have long waits. Housing is unaffordable. Instead of being able to jump in the car and go somewhere, you must plan, plan, plan.

And down goes the quality of life.

Moo!

I was watching some news show about parking spaces going for around $50K a year. It was downtown New York maybe.

I called in June to get an appointment with my doctor. First available appointment was FEBRUARY.

Now THAT is ridiculous.

It pays to live in a town of 2,000. Call the clinic before 10, or show up about 1:30 and BAM, see the doc. I love it. It takes me 15 minutes to get to Wal Mart-in the next town.

This humble Cow offers her services to Super M.

Perhaps a few sprigs of Topiary could fix what ails you.

Cheap, and no deductibles!

Moo!

Clucky,

Cow is trundling your way, with all her household goods on her back.

Please hold a parking space.

Moo!
