Some of the things you say do make good sense. I can not argue with that. However this guy likes being small so who am I to question him?? He keeps his overhead very low. And he always has a cold Pepsi for me when I walk in the door. So I can not complain.
And remember I did say. Small Town. So everybody knows everybody here. It truly is different in a small town. I have not heard of the town that you list as your home base, so I do not know if it is a small town or not. However I am pretty sure no one has heard of mine either.
