Cawthorn is brilliant compared to those that voted for him, and Meadows is a Patriot to them. I will not go out to eat at most places here. All flying “Back the Blue” flags, which is obviously pro trump. Asheville is great but way too expensive to live there. And the city boundary needs to be a wall. Thank God for massive forested mountain acres all around me. I need no trails and see no people. Tree hugs and my dogs give me all the social experience I need. I want to get to New England area in winter. Xcountry skiing is my passion, but climate has ended any chance here. Use to ski the Parkway many times each winter. That’s as rare as a fact from McCarthy’s pie hole.
