Just about 30 miles north and east of Baltimore (see I lie in my signature, but who's heard of Westminster) I was born and raised here. Thanks to Uncle Sam's Army I have seen a little more of the world. We used to be cow country, but now we are mostly suburbs. It still feels like home, because its the only one I've known. I've come to realize though that I am a misfit here, I think too liberally to be a part of it all, but I love the many salt of the earth people who still live here (even if they are conservatives). This change that Frank, Frank and I have talked about (open spaces going to pot) is a common folk music theme. Think I'll start a thread.
