Something that is also a big factor is "opportunity ". City mice have none and anymore only a few country mice do these days if seems. So many intangibles...

Marks 21: Fully understand the "Pennsylvania hunting ethic" and reading about the "Pennsylvania Grame News" here was a treat ( I always read them at my grandads).

Maybe "hardscrabble" isn't exactly critical but a regional culture might be. Perhaps culture..and then opportunity?

Totally opposite end of the spectrum. When you are born rich enough to do whatever the hell you want without worrying about the time clock on Monday morning, you are a French Baron like Guy. You hire Woody Sexton for the month to guide you bone fishing. Seems extreme, but, he likely never needed a guide to do that the rest of his life.


Il mange’ bien, il boit bien, il baise’ bien.

Best,
