I do live in a rural region of Ohio. We're agricultural, appalachian, and Amish where I'm at in s. Ohio, so it does tend to go at a pretty slow pace. Klinger, on the other hand, was from Toledo, Ohio which is just about as far away to me to the north as one can get. It's a different culture up there.
If you ever get to the eastern US, check out some of the slower moving parts of PA, OH, and IN. You'll find them very peaceful.
Cool! If I ever get up that way, it would be interesting to see. It's nice to live the slow life sometimes. I try to live slow paced life when i can, it's refreshing to the mind.
