I live in a town that votes Republican and as long as it does, Walmart will continue to be the the cultural center of the the city, the office buildings and retail buildings will look like ghosts from 1988 and people in Toilet town will continue to tell anyone who will listen to them what a wasteland Seattle is and how it is in ruins and has nearly been burned to the ground by ” liberals and communist and “Antifa” nobody wants to live there or visit there because it’s just crawling with people who look like extras in the Mad Max movies.

Of course most of my neighbors who say that haven’t been near Seattle in almost 40 years, but they  ‘have a buddy ‘ who works there-blah blah blah and they just KNOW.

Before he passed away my cousin said to me, ” Frankly Anita, I don’t know why you moved there. If you wanted to live in a pit  you could have just dug a hole in your backyard and moved into that. “

At the the time, I thought what he said was a joke. Now  think he meant it and I  think now that I should have taken his advice.
