My only concern is too darn much progress in the county. Last time I was there was April of this year. Now there's a grocery store AND a hardware store. A name-brand hardware store to boot. And some huge power line evidently bisecting the county. Gene Engle bought the dump just north of the stop light and tore it down and now it's primed for yet more commercial development. Next thing you know they'll get a second stop light in the county. Progress is bad, very very bad.
