Hmmm...the local angle could make things uhh...interesting at time. It seems like the people I knew who grew up to become cops always knew they would become cops and their friends did too so it wasn't a big deal to them or their friends when they went to work in their small hometown (jnu). They like their jobs and are proud of what they do. I would talk to a few of them outside of work and ask what it's like.
The She and I talk more often because we have the kids to take care of but it's hard. Part of me doesn't like to talk because even when it's a good exchange, it's sad because it brings up emotions and memories. You've given it a good effort but you have do what's best for bluerain.
