Moving to Colorado on July 2nd, but I'm still not all that big on John Denver

2. You never know what's going to happen when you move someplace.

When we moved to Nebraska in 1994 they had two Dem Senators and a Dem governor...
but over the next six years we lived there they turned as red as the football stadium
in Lincoln on football Saturday.

We moved to North Carolina in 2000...a progressive southern state...that voted for
Barack Obama in 2008 and then the rednecks, bigots and money guys got together to
take over the state in 2010-2012. There hadn't been Republican control of the
state legislature in over 100 years!

Ack! So here we are...still located in a deeply blue town (Chapel Hill) but
watching the state go down the toilet. Hubby is going to the Moral Monday
protest this afternoon. We have high hopes of dumping some of these
right wing a$$holes this year, but it will probably be 2016 or beyond before
we can really turn things around. In the meantime, the Repubs have done
tremendous damage to North Carolina.

Good luck to you! Hope you enjoy your new town.
