And always so busy with farm stuff. We met enough of the neighbors when we moved here to know there would never be cookouts together. We weren't unfriendly--just wanted peace and quiet, and to be left alone. We had one guy that kept dropping by unannounced on a nearly daily basis. That got annoying real quick. I posted this in another thread about a different neighbor:

I had an extremely bad neighbor experience when I had my farm in Calif. Nothing to do with politics, they were just vicious and vindictive from the get go. We spent 8 years in court over the boundary line. Lesson learned: Demand a complete survey before signing on the dotted line.
We do have some good friends here, and they are rethuglicans. We just don't talk politics. You're right--rural areas trend conservative. How much do you want to socialize?
