[quote=Pix]To me the city is abnormal.
If you live in the city, when did you last here the sound of a bird's wings as it took flight, startled when you passed near the tree it was resting on?
You're quite right, of course. But where else could you hear the cough of an asthmatic pigeon?
Seriously though, I like the city for the convenience but find myself being ever drawn to smaller and smaller ones, while spending most of my free time in the mountains, or at least away from traffic and graffiti. So I guess I'm a country mouse who doesn't know it yet!
