Sondra,
   We see the same thing right here.  Parents that have transferred to the 
midwest to keep their children from being adversly effected by gangs and 
corrupt kids.  Problem is their kids are just what they wanted to keep them 
from.  I stay away from the community where a lot of transplants are.  I 
slept with a gun under my pillow far too long while in la la land to start 
doing the same thing here.  The community I live in is a bit backwards, and 
not many transients.  Living in the woods though has its drawbacks also 
though.  Seems people on the run are looking for just the right place to hid 
out or burglerize.  So for now, I'll stay where I am, and be content in 
knowing when I accidentally leave the keys in the door over night, I have a 
darned good chance of waking up in the morning 
                                      Patti
