It was just after 8 a.m. and traffic was whooshing by, past the one-story strip malls, past the Big Chief Drive-In and church after church, including the hulking redbrick one lit up for Christmas next to the smaller buildings of City Hall.

About weissmam

My wife is Chinese , Have been to China ten times and I lost count of how many times I have been to Hong Kong My daughter is adopted from China. I am incredibly liberal when it come to both social issues and economic issues . I have a very positive view of the US Military and Service Members in general and think the US Military is a force for good and has been an example of positive social change. (BTW nothing is perfect). Can\'t blame the Military for bad civilian leadership
