    I have pretty good insurance. I make pretty good money. But for the fucking life of me I can’t find a doctor that takes my insurance and is accepting new patients.

      I grew up out in the sticks. We had some city-slickers move into the house down the road (we would have been neighbors, but there was a field between us). After a few days, they called my dad for help with a plumbing issue. They didn’t have any water. They had run out of water.

      Our area didn’t have municipal water lines, so every house had big tanks buried nearby, and had to get water delivered by truck.
