I just finished watching the sixth season of Weeds. It was very good, but in a different way than the previous seasons. Nancy did things differently than I would have (I would've gotten my corrupt husband to help me out of the mess before fleeing, but whatever).
Anyway, the season got me thinking. If I were on the run from both the FBI and the Mexican mafia (of sorts) where would I go? The Botwins first flee to Seattle, and when that doesn't work they go to a tiny town, but because of their own dumbness it doesn't work out, so they have to keep moving.
If I were on the run would I go to someplace like NYC, where it's big enough that I could hide and blend in?
Or would I go to a tiny town in the middle of Idaho where no one would be? There'd be less cops to worry about and who would follow me? But I imagine that in little town, the sketchy cops and townsfolk are skeptical of newcomers, so they very well might do some creepy hick ritual on me, or at least arrest me for no good reason.
I'd want to run to NYC, but I think little towns would be the best place to go. I'd risk inbred hicks in order to survive. But, then again, there's something alluring about being a fugitive in the big city. I'd be a grown up Kevin McCallister, kind of.
If I ever do need to make this decision, I'll let you know what I decide. But who knows if I'd be telling the truth?
