On Saturday we took a family walk to the post office. As we left, we passed an old lady sitting in her car. She smiled at my daughter riding in her all-terrain wagon with a cover, as all older people do.

Old Lady: I like your covered wagon.
Hubby: Thanks. We figured that since we live in the boonies, we might as well act like it.
Old Lady: This isn't the boonies.

Ummm, what? Turns out she lives in nearby Cleveland which has a population of 17. I guess our town of almost 100 feels a little crowded to her.
