You're right, I was teasing. When I lived near there Tioga Center had a lot of cows and a great high school football team. Owego had John Barleycorn's.
When I left and lived in Syracuse people would ask me where I was from. I'd tell them near Owego. More often than not, they'd say "Do you mean Oswego?"
I meant it, though. I'm really glad you're getting your track back.
