Mnemonic

There is a limit on how good your life can be in a small village where you won't have access to a lot of modern amenities. No fast Internet, no supermarket, no hospital. While you certainly can live without the former two, well, if you get hit by a car and you'll need a life saving treatment — almost good is certainly not good enough, is it?
