Rat's Country: Keeping Your Distance

You can see who's coming as they turn north from the county road and up the two-mile incline to Tuscarora.  In the daylight, it's hard to be taken by surprise.  Of course, someone could sneak into town at night, but the moving headlights would show on the road; town dogs would bark; some insomniac would peer out the window at midnight and watch.

No, it's a great place for keeping your distance, for guarding your misery.
