A study in contrasts

The front page headline in our local paper the other day reminded me why we moved from the city to the country. It read:

Pony, cow killed in drive-by shootings

While I do feel appropriately sorry for the random killing of innocent animals, it is quite a contrast from the type of drive-by shootings we used to hear about when I lived in the city.

So, paying over 2 dollars a gallon for gas and driving sometimes 2 hours to work is looking more and more worth it.
