I’m a remote worker nearing retirement age and I’m great with that. In the summer, I try to keep a flexible routine and I can do that since I don’t have to go elsewhere to do my job. Sure, it’s not always perfect. When deadlines crop up — no matter the time of day for me or time zone for the client — they still must get done.
My summer days look different now — geography does that.
Having lived in the City of Seymour for just at 10 years, I’m doing the same things as I did before but they look different — and for the most part, they feel different too! My mornings now look like this…
Next comes daily exercise. During decent weather, instead of walking through a community and past a football field, I walk down a dead-end road that offers this for a view:
There’s a difference between a small city and a small town.
All the controversy over Jason Aldean’s song “Try That in a Small Town” has many of my friends that live in Seymour posting their political thoughts on Facebook. Many are butt hurt… and most refer to Seymour as a small town to make their point. It’s making me crazy and I can barely keep my fingers from responding with some scathing, ugly comment.
People, Seymour is not a “SMALL TOWN” no matter what John Mellencamp says.
Seymour, Indiana is a CITY with a population of 22,000 plus people. You want to call it a small city? Go ahead! Vernon township — that includes the Town of Crothersville — has a total population of around 3,400 people. Having lived in Seymour and on the outskirts of Crothersville, I can tell you — Seymour people have NO IDEA the vast difference there is between the two.
Mellencamp — and ME — were born in a small city.
I don’t claim to live in a small town, but I’ve lived close to one for the majority of my life… and I attended school in one. I figure that makes me enough of an expert to state that there’s a distinct difference between life in a small town and that in a small city — and it’s not just the evening views. 🙂
