Our town is about 1,800 peeps, but the draw area is ~20,000. We're in the largest county in the state with the lowest population. My nearest Target is 2 hours away. Major city? 4 hours.

I've actually considered going back to school to become a counselor, but I would fear for humanity. With my snarky mentality AND the ability to fuck with people's minds and emotions? Those are the the things super hero nemeses are made from...
