when I wake up in the morning, the first thing I see is a big beautiful lake. When I go for a walk in the evening, I can hear a car for 3/4 of a mile away. So there are some benefits to living 100 miles north of Thunder Bay?

What took you so long? After spending most of my life in NYC and burbs, I love this.

Back in the 70s I moved to Boston and began putting myself through music school. The school itself was in downtown just a few blocks from Symphony Hall... I had no idea just how much my nerves were fraying from all the city noise and the music I was being exposed to every day, until I rented a farm house with a friend in Vermont the next summer. We didn't have a neighbor for at least a quarter mile and the farm was at the end of a long country lane. The first night I spent there I was almost disturbed by the lack of noise. So I was sitting in our living room soaking up the silence when I hear this crunch crunch at my feet. I look down and it's our cat who's caught a mouse and was munching on its head..... Turns out our cat had a quirk that, not only was he a great mouser but he had the curious habit of eating his catch at your feet no matter where he caught it....
