The medicine I take for my ADD has been on manufacture back-order for about a month now (don't ask me how that can happen - I don't know).

The problem with small-town life is that... it's a small town. There aren't many people, especially those w/specialized degrees, so you take what you get, basically. *sigh*

Love the idea of that, but the reality is I'd be aimless and forgetful all the time and would probably not ever GET to the whole reading stuff on Kindle thing... or worse yet, forget to buy it!
