[quote=XBoxBoy]To some degree I agree. Life in San Diego is pretty nice. But a friend of mine who lives outside of Washington DC on a couple acres sent me a video of him and his hound playing in 30″ of snow today. I’m deeply jealous. To be bundled up, off for a romp in the snow with a big hound… now that’s the life for me.[/quote]Yeah, those eastern seaboard suburban and exurban neighborhoods have really nice lots. Homeowners typically use tractor mowers there and often there is no fencing (except possibly a minimal split rail) between lots.
I do believe it’s a really amazing locale to raise kids (and big dogs) in …. probably the best in the country. Especially in Montgomery and Frederick County, MD and Fairfax and Loudoun County, VA.
“Bucolic” is the only word I can think of which describes this region adequately.
