Gimme A Break

We just got back from a drive out to the boonies where we’d been invited to a party. It’s in a new suburb that’s very popular with the thirty-something’s because of its resort living concept.

Personally I can’t see what’s so attractive about the place. It’s out in the middle of an industrial area surrounded by factories and criss-crossed by a couple of highways.

There’s nothing here, I said, we’re miles from civilization. DH was quick to point out that we could actually see the highway from where we were standing.

Yes, I argue, but highways are just roads leading in from civilization. There are no malls, no schools, none of the conveniences we enjoy where we live. So I could hardly call it a very civilized place.
