Milcom MiasmaSmall town things that I hate.
Mrs Miasma tries to schedule a service call and gets no acknowledging communication, delays and the general run-around.
I call and ask for the same service and get a call-back within 3 minutes apologizing for the delay and telling me someone will be out to our house TODAY to fix the problem.
I'm beginning to wonder why small-town women don't keep a cattle-prod handy.

Chiel G, NeveleOne of my favourite things about travelling through small inland Australian towns: the historical museums. Which are often just "we had some rusting machinery so we put a fence around it." Free entry, obviously.

Small-town Life's lack of cultural opportunities in Art, Theater, and Music are leavened only by it's bucolic beauty and peace.

Here. I'm from here.
Small town conversations eventually include the question "Where are you from?"
I awkwardly launch into my outline of what brought us here and when but it always sounds like an excuse.
Mrs Miasma whispers in my ear "Just say we're from here."
Six years with lots of practice and I still can't say it right.
