It's Official: I am a hill person

My brief stop in Atlanta yesterday on my way back to Johnson City from Auburn made be realize I am have assimilated to country living. I was mesmerized by the billboards, the amazing variety of stores, and fact you can eat Thai noodles, buy a wedding dress, chemical supplements, linens, books and get you nails and taxes done all in the same shopping center! No wonder city folk have to earn so much money, there is so much to spend it on (the use of 'folk' is a deliberate attempt to present myself as a hill person). On I-26 between Asheville and Johnson City there aren't any billboards, no one is trying to sell you anything, it's just the mountains. I think that is what I've gotten used to, without cable TV, without constant internet access, without the billboards (just the occasional j.crew catalog) I forgotten how much people want you to buy stuff.
