193. I do not walk my dogs in my neighborhood, anymore

Mon Nov 22, 2021, 12:28 PM

Nov 2021

I live in central WY. Many new people moving into the area from out of state. Saw a black flag hung about a month ago...sent chills through me and had to look it up to see what it meant. No, I will not go take a picture to prove to anyone what I saw. Now, we have F Biden, Impeach Biden and Tfg is my president flags from hanging from houses. Sunday afternoon in the park there were a group of young boys hanging around. One was a big kid with what I think was a play gun that might shoot nerf balls, but he was carrying it like Rittenhouse carried his rifle at the protest. The visual was upsetting to me and came directly home. I do not feel safe in my small town. I am mad as hell at what has happened to uour country. Happy Holidays, everyone Peace
