2012 listing of homicide totals... Chicago - 506

We moved the family out of the Mrs's home kingdom, my favorite city, in 1994. Our Chicago was insulated from most of the rumbling back then. When the offspring were young, we had a very good and balanced life, with wonderful support from my in-laws. It hurt to leave, and we very much missed that support (and lost our balance).

State of Okla. 2010 murder rate - 191

Recently, one of the now-adult kids thanked me for the move.

Whatever else we did wrong (everything), there's that.
