Griff, you and Pete are an asset to any community you're in. Even, no, especially if your point of view is of the minority. Perhaps you can make the biggest and best impact where you are now, "behind enemy lines", so to speak.

Wherever you go, there you are.

Kindly said and moving isn’t a done deal. It is an appropriate time to consider options.

A friend from the County Seat used to talk about how anti-everything this county is. Lately I’m seeing what he was seeing.

FWIW, when the kids fledge I plan to sell this place and move to VT.

What part of VT? NE Kingdom seems attractive but it is a long way from my kids. Southern VT seems pretty pricey but if your woman is already established it seems nice.
