turn my red county blue!

Okay, a dozen new subdevelopments would suck badly. I wouldn't want that in reality. But it's so depressing. I have pretty much decided not to shop at any place of business in my county because about 100 businesses actually took out a full-page ad in the paper listing all the businesses that would PROUDLY refuse to require their customers or employees to wear a mask. But I was in one of the little towns today to get my 2nd Covid shot (woo-hoo!) and when that was done, it struck me that I really wanted to buy some sunflower seeds to plant, it being such a plant-sunflower-seeds kind of day.

So I donned my mask and some gloves and thought I would just duck in real quick, get my seeds, and split. But when I saw the grumpy old guy behind the counter not wearing a mask and giving me the stink eye because I had one on, I turned around and left in disgust.

Hopefully, we will get more Dems, even from the red states you list, but as a trickle, not an onslaught, so that we can turn MT blue before the Repubs realize it's happening. I mean, if AZ could turn blue in 2020, anything is possible!

P.S. Love, love, love Missoula! We lived there for the first two years we were here, on Pine Street. It was wonderful being able to just walk to the Farmer's Market on the weekend and visit all the great stores and restaurants downtown. Still go there at least once a week, and will be going there a lot more to do all my shopping, once my two-week waiting period is up.
