Want To Move To A Beautiful Italian Town? At "No" Cost? ... No problem.

"You can check-out any time you like. But you can never leave."

Dear Tig,

C.S. Lewis' brilliant book "The Great Divorce" is about a bus that pulls up on the outskirts of Hell, offering "the damned" free passage to Heaven.

But... 

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!" https://barnardsvilleumc.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/ebook-lewis-c-s-the-great-divorce.pdf

No one accepts the offer - the gift.

The grace.

Oh, sure...

Everyone has a good rationale, all of them "Made In America!" 

Really good rationales.

Tremendous rationales.

Exceptional rationales.

The best rationales!

So...

What's in the way?

You don't even have to stay!

You can "check it out"... and -- if not to  your liking -- go back whence you came.

You CAN go home again!

I'm reminded of the lyric from "Hotel California": "We are all prisoners here of our own device."
