I definitely live in a one stoplight town. Asheville is only minutes away but I am in the boonies. To me, it's perfect.
Where we live is more of just a road than an actual subdivision, though it has a name (Rainbow Ridge). The houses sit on a acre or more. Pretty rural. Maybe a dozen houses on the road. It's a pretty spot. Most folks have a nice view of the mountains. Our cabin is the second house in, right at the apex of a tight curve. We are outside most of the time so we've taken to giving a passing wave as folks come and go (The Harley riders never wave back. Just kidding, no Harleys up here.). Apparently, everyone 'knows' us due to that.
A few days back a different neighbor was walking with her daughter and stopped to talk to Ruth as she worked in the yard. Her daughter said that Ruth was commonly referred to as "the lady with the long legs".
I have spoken a couple times to another neighbor that seems to have quite a bike collection. I've seen him on a Norton, an old Ducati, a Honda 305, an unidentified sport bike (I have a hard time telling them apart) and a couple others.
I do need to get to know him.
