Dear Care and Feeding,
I live and work in a very small town, isolated from any other populated area by a treacherous two-hour drive. Many in my town are connected families—as in, we are practically all cousins, although some are more distantly related than others. A new family moved back recently; they are a family of 10, with the father claiming distant relations to multiple community members. I see these folks every day except Sundays because we all work in the same little roadside tourist stop.
