not to live in one of the People's Republic states
Thats what I am saying. Thats pretty smart. Just surprised you would ask that question.
Hey man, I grew up in a place where you were out of work more than working. Being laid off every week. 20% unemployment. The most important thing to me is having job sercurity. And good thing about these commnist states, is when the private sector is bad, you still have the goverment work. I have lived here for 8 years now, but rarely here. I used to travel 80% of the time.
And there is two things I would miss about MD if I left. One crabcakes. Two, those tender soy bean eating deer and you can take a dozen of em legally.90% kill rate. I grew up on Ky deer that was the toughest thing you ever ate. Have like a 25% kill rate in the mountains. Only take buck. And you could only take like two.
First of all, a dozen deer legally is incorrect. You can take two bucks and ten does during bow, BP and firearms seasons, so you can legally kill 36 deer, not including sika deer on the Shore, or unlimited does in suburban areas.
And, only TWO things? What about steamed crabs or (my favorite) crab imperial? Cream of crab and real Maryland crab soup? You should try mine. It costs me $50.00 to make a pot, but selling it by the cup I could make $450.00. How about mountains to the Atlantic in 4 hours? Not to mention some of the BEST whitetail hunting in the US. Maybe not trophy-caliber like Illinois or Iowa, but there are some mighty big bucks here. I do wish we had pheasants like we did in the Sixties, though.
