Hometown Pleasures

One of the pleasures of hometown living is the close proximity of everything. 

I left work driving a 1/2 mile to my haircut appointment.  I parked in front of the store.  On the way in I walked 10 feet to the edge of the Post Office property where I could mail my letters. After my haircut I walked across the street to drop off something at church.  I am enjoying all of this Mayberry stuff. 

The 30 minute ride home is a beautiful drive - State Route 77 - which is designated as The Great Divide Scenic Highway.  Doesn't get much better than this.

(The Great Divide that Route 77 follows is the watershed boundary between the Great Lakes (emptying into the Atlantic Ocean) and the Mississippi River (emptying into the Gulf of Mexico).
