We're gonna have some good coversations.  While most of my childhood is in Oregon and Eugene ethrough the 60's (very counterculture). My adult life my marriage, children, my wife's passing was in very conservative Pella, IA.

We all carry the experiences of childhood through death.  My happen to be on opposite cultural/political extremes.    I've loved people in both communities so finding ways to be tolerant AND tolerable is a learned skill.   I was lucky that Iowa culture puts a premium on being polite.
Beautiful day in the neighborhood...
