I both celebrate and lament living in this small town. And I lament for reasons that are at opposite ends of the spectrum. My sleepy little town is growing so fast it makes me dizzy, and I dislike that. Conversely, it’s so small that I have to leave it to find things I need, and I also dislike that. I wish we had something like these San Diego yellow pages.

I actually live midway between two sizable towns, but they are in different counties and different phone books, so it’s difficult to compare the resources available. Of course, even as I say that, I remember that most of that growth is occurring between those 2 towns. Wonder which book they’ll put that in?
