Jim: Well written, I think Tom loves the benefits, but will the masses ever catch on. So many times in life I've seen folks move to the country mainly for less expensive real estate. Once they get there, then they want arenas, ball parks, theater, etc. Once they have enough numbers they usually get what they want, which in turn forces the taxes up, by then they have develop every square foot to increase the tax base and people numbers to pay for all of this. Sad but I've seen a lot of nice rural communities go this route. I once hired a guy to work on the farm, a local who had gone to the city to seek his fame and fortune. While there he married a city girl. Then his grand dad left him some acerage near by. He built a house, was planning on commuting to city. This guy soon discovered my wages less his commute were quite competitive with city wages. Soon after I hired him, he and his new bride were at our house. She lamented how there was no city services like swiming pools, ball parks, libraies, etc. Finally I said, "Lady if you wish to pay the taxes, I'm certain we can have gold plated sidewalks out here, even though the houses are 1/2 mile apart. Problem is I don't think you'll get too many folks out here to agree with you." He dug his heels in and stayed, she left with 3 children. Sad, he had the nicest little spot, very private.

The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
