Oct 2021

but I, too, live in rural America. I see all the obits on the website for our local funeral home. I worked in town long enough, and I still work for the Democratic party enough that I know all these people.

I saw one today that just surprised me. He was my age, and was one of the biggest ladies' men in town.

Many of the deaths here have to be covid. The people are just too young for it to be anything else in such large numbers.
