AGED INFRASTRUCTURE

Statistical evidence shows that the nation’s deadliest cities are predominantly located in Red States. Which tells you everything you need to know when planning another family get away: avoid all the places where they voted for Trump and the KKK, those are hellzones. Which we knew already, and we do avoid them. Instead, think of Canada, which isn't our fifty first state. Nice people. Predominantly non-violent.

It isn't Idaho, where one bar proprietor has armed all of his staff (presumably because his patrons are psychopaths, it being Idaho) and has promised free beer for a month to whoever turns in foreigners to Ice (presumably psychopaths and likely natives of Idaho) resulting in deportations. And has, in consequence, received hatred on social media, because many normal people do not understand that Idaho is practically the Charlie Manson of states.

If you're dating someone from Idaho, knock it off.
Especially if he's your relative.


In other news, the painters who will do the airwell are here, and have requested that the windows be tightly shut, top and bottom. Which several of them cannot be, because the building is ancient, and there have been minor changes in the woodwork over the years. So at the crack of dawn (exxageration) I had to clamber onto the kitchen counter and tape over the slit at the top where that half won't fully slide up.

Please note that ALL of my praescriptions state "may cause dizziness". Which I've ignored, and never told work about, because they would worry, seeing as ladders are an essential part of the storage area there, and my boss doesn't want to get sued or have an employee falling and busting his fragile old ass. Quite natural, but ladders are a necessary part of living, and only one employee has a phobia of even stepping upwards barely one tread. The last time I fell from any height I was in the apple tree behind our house.
That was juvenile stupidity, not dizziness.

The medications also tell me "do not become pregnant if using this".

There is no need to worry about that either.
Perhaps in Idaho, but not here.
Magic happens there.

Along with beer-sodden brawls, ultra-violence, casual crime, moral offenses, drug deals gone wrong, plus wide-spread bigotry and very diverse family depravity. Idaho is the real America, where Jesus and the Klan rule, and people still make meth in their trailer parks. Pick-up trucks, hoe-downs, and cowboys growing potatoes everywhere.

It is a praedominantly Christian state. Many locals know him personally.

The phrase "how's your sister" should never be asked there.

Fried tuber with tomato compote is a passion.

They are big into processed cheese.

Literacy is not uncommon.

There is trout.
