35. That's An Interesting Oberservation.....

when you're able to get a personal perspective, the scene before you changes. That's a big part of what I was trying to convey. And you are correct, that's how eventually you move society. My neighbors? It's complicated. This is a real conservative town. But some of the things they do will astound you. What they say is one thing, what they do-sometimes I just can't explain. I could probably write a book about it. Anyway, I'm from the northern part of the state. We have farms too , just not like the great vegetable farms where you're from.
