Ruth and I were reading our weekly newspaper, it is always such a pleasure as we get to find out about ladies' teas and who is visiting from out of town. Iraq and Afghanistan are places that are mentioned, well never in this small town paper, maybe that is a good thing. Front page news might be an unique butterfly sighting or a bald eagle perched on a nest.
One piece of news, as we relocated from Louisiana recently, was that there is a petition for voters to have some means of identification to actually vote. Apparently, there is still a problem hereabouts with the deceased showing up to vote. I have wondered a lot about the afterlife but voting was never in the top ten things to want to be doing.
This truly is a tale of two cities, a microcosm of sorts, poverty and something else, as soon as I put my finger on what that something else is....
