Thank you, Nia. I feel similarly about Kentucky. Folks ask why we don’t leave, and you’ve captured beautifully why we don’t and don’t want to.

Moving around feels pretty natural to me. We lived in 3 different states in my childhood, and I've lived in a couple more as an adult. My mom and both her parents were Army brats.

My wife is an immigrant -- having left her homeland to be with me. She, her brother, their father, and his father were all born in the same house. But it was in four different countries over that time period, which is a different kind of movement.

The Whitefish I lived in from 1978 to 1981 seems pretty much gone. Watersheds are still there, of course, but the human environment shifts in fits and starts.
