Let’s talk about small town America. It is a wild place. It can be the greatest place on planet earth, or the worse place you have ever been. Rural towns do have their ups and downs.

Lake is like children playing, or how people aren’t “drowning in the Lake” with the comparisons the author provides he say that it’s not a Lake, it’s an Ocean. meaning that there is more to it than what is on the surface.
