Perish the thought. No not a city boy, it's fine for some, but I could never live there, or any city for that matter.
I grew up in Rockland but as an adult I've lived my entire life in Orange County. The first five years in New Windsor and the last 30+ in Highland Mills.
I never did think of joining. Other than snowfall, days of snow cover and first freezes, first hard freeze, last freeze,sub zero days, I don't really track daily, highs and lows or even rainfall.
