Tom, Sorry I forgot. The population may sound large, but the mindset is very "small town." Gossip is the primary currency here. Everyone really does know everyone's business - if that "everyone" is in any way different from the norm. The powerful literally go out of their way to make the powerless miserable. Who has that kind of time? If I told you my location, I don't think you'd be surprised. Maybe I just need the courage to move. Would love to.
