I was filling out my application for my LTCF and put down two friends who have known me for about 30 years. Both are fine upstanding pillars of the community.

Then I went to the sheriff's web site to get the address to mail the the application and I'm re-reading the information. Both references must live in Pennsylvania.

What's up with that? Are non-Pennsylvanians not trustworthy?

I don't want many people around here to know that I even own guns.

Sheesh!
