August grew up with a classic neighborly family, though in a rather hot, rural area that didn’t have many neighbors. Something he didn’t like. He had lived in a one story house with a bunch of land- and a farm. He had to tend to the land with his father almost every day- and that was the only thing he got to do outside. That’s why he moved to Alaska when he grew up. He liked colder temperatures and Vermont was not cutting it. He liked small neighborhoods with a friendly, pleasant atmosphere.
