VaB,
What I meant was "you must be a pretty nice guy if all these folks want to get to know you better..." I certainly didn't mean to imply anything hostile or judgemental. The "attitude" part of my post was generic--not aimed at you. As a military guy, I heard people talk all the time about how much Sumter, SC stunk. How awful Alamogordo, NM was....how bad Anchorage could be, and certainly how backward and terrible and full of hicks Panama City Florida really is. I had a great time in all those places... My point was some people (not you and not your thread) carp about their towns all the time. I've found good stuff everywhere I've been stationed...
I bid O&Bs frequently, and spend quite a bit of time during the month piddling around M-town. I will sometimes also have a day or two between trips and I'll hang out locally. Also have quite a few friends I visit up here regularly--in C-town, G-town, Mud Island, mid town, etc. Also considering purchasing a modest N Missississippi home as a crashpad. You are right--I don't live here full time. However, the time I have spent has warmed me to the place quite a bit since I first showed up 2.5 years ago.
That's all I meant...really.
Fly safe.
