Austin - Yah, but pretty much all you have within 15-20 minutes of you
are raccoons an a couple of nice neighbors on the otherside of the

The reality for some such as yourself, living as you do in the exurbs -
if not "the country" - is that you have no choices in terms of 60 minute
processing either.

Hi John,

I do believe my number of choices within 20 minutes of me is zero.
