Yeah, I came from Detroit, but country boy can survive.
As I recall, you're in a similar situation to me, and you aren't in Detroit any more, you're out in the sticks. I was born in Cleveland, but we moved out to the boonies in my early teens. I took to it pretty well, and became a naturalized hillbilly. It helped that this was where my folks were from, and I had scads of kin out here already.
You've just become a naturalized country boy.
