Well, he lives in Los Angeles (If I recall correctly) and has a bed-ridden wife. I would imagine that that limits his options somewhat.
Actually, I live in rural South Carolina. I was born and raised in Washington State, and lived for some time in San Diego. I have never lived in L.A.
Whoa... You actually live in rural South Carolina??? Wow. You really should not toss such comedic cream puffs to me, Loran. LOL!!! No wonder you take issue with the Gomer Pyle avatar!

I don't understand the significance of "rural" SC to your comments here, Scratch. Could you explain?

Yeah...I'm pretty sure Mayberry and Gomer Pyle (of Andy Griffith Show fame) were in North Carolina. I guess that makes Liz Aunt Bee (or Thelma Lou). Besides, wouldn't Coggins be Otis?

It just relates to the stereotype that rural folks are "hayseeds" and "hicks." That's all.

Ah, do you think that Coggins fits that stereotype?

Well.... I have been giving him a hard time for a while about this, since he is so fond of this "evil Liberal" straw man. I suppose to a certain extent that he does fit the stereotype of the far-rightwing whack job, who owns multiple guns and a pickup truck with a Confederate flag on the back window.
You know, interestingly, it seems that I have caught Loran in a lie. He now tells us that he lives in South Carolina, and yet when I was giving him a hard time back in February, he said this:
Coggins7 wrote: I do have a pick up, but I don't have a Confederate flag (and have no reason to, since I am not a Southerner),
(emphasis added)
Maybe he meant to say that he is "not a Southerner" at heart, eh? After all, a faithful Latter-day Saint like Loran would never intentionally try to deceive any of us, right?

No...he sounds like a Utah Mormon at heart. He probably has the Deseret Flag painted on top of his orange Dodge Charger, possibly called the "General Young".

Thanks for your explanation and even though I know your post was intended to be humorous, I'll tell you why my antenna went up when I read your comment and introduce you to an alternative rural stereotype.
There are people who intentionally choose a rural lifestyle because of the freedom it supplies as well as wholesome environment in which to raise children. They are willing to adjust to lack of certain amenities found in city/suburban life in order to maintain it. That adjustment often requires one to be resourceful and independent.
That would be me. Many people couldn't afford what I own outright and would only experience it in terms of a vacation retreat. My mail is dropped in a country mailbox, I drive on dirt roads every day, various types of wildlife (including bears) trapse through my property on a regular basis, I can pull a vehicle out of a foot of mud, I know how to operate my own snow plow, we own "multiple guns", a country dog, I wouldn't trade it for anything...
and I ain't no hick. To the contrary, DH and I are both professionals.

Sweet Zombie Jesus, if I ever saw someone do that to a Charger I'd be force to remove there testicles with a spork to prevent them from contaminating the human race.

My gosh, that reminded me of when I lived in the deep south and the car horns that played "Dixie". So funny!
