Living in a red state makes being a loner so easy. .

If I hear "but their parents shouldn't have brought them" one more time I'm going to just scream.

It's hot, the locals are nuts and if I had a way to move to the Pacific Northwest I would be outta here.

1. I'd like to be near a Great Lake,

The wind & waves settles me when I'm thinking about hateful people

[backtoblue]

3. That sounds nice

Just let the waves clear your mind and relax...

I'm sure I'd find something to complain about no matter where I live. I'm just tired of humidity and stupidity.
(And snakes, ticks, mosquitoes, and tornadoes)

6. There was a long article about mayflies over Lake Erie this week

Lake Michigan maybe? 🌊🌊🌊🌊

2. You would be welcome!

I was born and raised in Texas, and am so glad I'm not there now. I love living in liberal Western Washington.

The Eastern half is pretty red, but we outnumber them.

5. I'm gonna try to scout the area next summer

I'm not sure what I could afford out there, but my quality of life is seriously impeded here.

Summer in the south is horrid!

4. Be careful where you move to in the Pacific NW.

You will have same problems east of the Cascades.

7. I already gave her the heads-up.

Stick with west of the mountains.

8. Just remind them them that how a society treats children is indicator of a society that will

Move forward or die off.

In the Bible it say welcome strangers into your land.

9. I see your 'favorite group' is Arkansas.

I spent one year in Ft Smith, AR around 2004.

I’m 73; grew up in PA; lived from Maine to Florida to CA and points in between.

I did not feel welcome in Ft Smith, being "left of center".

[backtoblue]

10. I've been here my entire life...

About an hour from Ft Smith.

My career was one of the few reasons I stayed. Now that I'm retired I think it's time to leave the farm.

I've known some wonderful people over the years, but the ugly ones are REALLY ugly.

11. I could have been more explicit ...

But didn't want to offend anyone.

One example I recall is that my co-workers 'of color' would only call me "Mr Bob" because I'm white,
no matter how many times I said "Just call me Bob".

This was in 2004!
