Okay, so I know I live in the sticks.
For example, let's examine Exhibit A:

And we can't forget Morla, the Ancient One (aka Exhibit B):

And of course, we all know that an ancient indian burial ground resides about 20 feet from our property line. It's just that kind of town.
But I was REALLY surprised to read this paragraph in a letter I got from the Charlestown Economic Improvement Commission (I get these things because I own my own business from my home):
Once again, we will have the open house at the Senior Center, and we will make it easier to find your way out in the dark.
I had two issues with this statement. First of all, from the sounds of things, I think I am probably quite happy I did not go last year.
But secondly, if we could expect to have a hard time getting out, how do they expect the seniors to do it?
