And you mean I have to live there for two years? *cringes*
Owlie - welcome to the real world. And there are more rural places! Or places where they remember 40 years ago (older than you) when the economy was good. I've lived in some of them. Get yourself a stove top Italian espresso pot and you'll survive. Some of the best espresso I ever had was made in one of those pots at my neighbor's house on a fish hatchery, at the end of 9 miles of dirt road, 17 miles from "town".
