Hahahaha Shoppers normally...and when did shopping in pajamas become a thing?

I can deal with people shopping in PJs. What really alarms me is when I see OTR truck drivers at Love's get out wearing PJs and flip flops!!!!!

I do not have a dog in this but it would seem the percentage of area would be the more applicable data point in judging if the state is rural or urban. If that is the bone one you two are picking. A high percentage of population that lives in urban areas could be influenced by one large mega city whereas the state could be quite rural otherwise.

In my State I directly feel the impact of 70% or our population being in urban areas. Us in the thinly populated northern half of the State are "sucking hind tit" when it comes to infrastructure.... My County is being bought up by non-resident land owners from other States and/or the urban areas. The impact of these things are immeasurable long term.

^^^This...when I got my F250, thought this was an old man feature. Now, I'm an old man, and I sure appreciate it. I use it every time I get in the bed. Great feature.

That's what happened to VA, the whole state is pretty much controlled by 2, maybe 3 counties.

That's what the Electoral College is supposed to prevent from a National election perspective. Just a few states with high levels of morons could define the whole country. Not there yet, but quickly approaching it. And 'They' want to change it out.

Yet they could accomplish the same without changing the Constitution, simply by splitting delegates based on how each district votes rather than statewide; eliminating gerrymandering. I don't understand the exact details, but Maine is one of only two states which do it that way.

You hear that in every state with a high rural component. That's the way it is here, and I heard the same comments when I worked in upstate New York, even in the pre-Hillary days.

Yes, I think you are correct.

It's a "double edged sword". To get more political power we need a bunch of people to move into our county. I have yet to find a bunch of people in any society that I want moving into my county. Seems the denser the population the less logical the population....

We now have a small group of non-resident land owners here in Missouri that are lobbying our legislators to get free fishing/hunting, no license purchase required, since they aren't residents of Missouri........ Now ya see why I don't want a bunch of those.....

Metro Boston extends from Manchester NH to Worcester, MA to Providence, RI. The people west of Worcester in MA feel they have no say in state government.

In NH there’s long standing tension between the “Woodchucks” North and West of Concord and the “Flatlanders” along the coast, over to Manchvegas and south.

This tension bubbled over when a blogger started asking journalists if they knew anyone who owned a pickup truck.

I just took it for s& giggles. One question stood out; something like "what is Branson"? Tractor was the only thing I could think of, and it wasn't even on the list.
