- In all fairness to Gary, there is a big coyote population out here (you hear them most nights), and there are skunks with attitude. Our county road was blocked by an angus steer who'd gone off his meds one recent morning. One still must watch his step; four legged varmints are still varmints. They just can't jack your car or seduce your kids in the church vestry.

- Mark Twain said that there were "lies, dam lies, and statistics." Here is a biased use of statistics. If one were to look at the map and consider the more interesting percent changes it shows, Lake County is in the middle of the pack with a loss of 0.02-0.30%. That the absolute number of people fleeing was largest of all the counties merely reflects the fact that the overall population is very large compared to most counties in the state. This doesn't imply that fleeing Lake County is a bad idea. We moved to Laporte County several years ago. It's been refreshing to be governed by bumbling bumpkins who can't get tax bills out on time, instead of by petty crooks who can't wait to steal from the taxpayers to employ their lazy relatives and remodel their rental properties. There is no interesting news in this article. It's like saying half the population is below average.
