Driving a tractor might be more dangerous, but nice that the young man stuck around the track.

Absolutely!

And if racing goes down the tubes in the Mid-Atlantic, he can participate in rural fair tractor pull contests. Very popular attraction where the fashionable and unfashionable bib overalled enjoy all sorts of foods known as the great greazy. Racing railbirds like yourself can switch over easily. No classy wine kiosks to stand in line for, but you can brown bag. So you will then be recognize as the safety helmeted Costco fascinated railbird lady fashionably attired gulping down your favorite bagged refreshment, gasping for clean air through all the diesel fumes, trying to see the event through safety glasses, and looking confused as to why anyone would think a tractor pull is fun. You are going to love it in MD.

I so hope not. This relocating thing was terribly hard! So far - no tractor pulls but went out for crabs the other night. Next day, the other family members went canoeing from the pier in the backyard, then we went to Laurel (Ben’s Cat). There was a huge bald eagle in the tree in the backyard today. So far, things are pretty nice, however this house has way too many stairs. Thanks, btw!
