@jann I agree with you on that. OTOH, I live in the area, and you can get a lot for not too much, and the weather here is ideal. Good place for retirement, and the more progressives retiring here, the better our chances of changing Alabama from within.
@ThompsonArt I don’t speak a word of it. Wales was my father’s favorite place in the world. He visited a lot, and had many friends there.

Let's call these people what they are: Cowards. He was a man-sized baby with a weapon who shot first because he was too cowardly to take a moment to evaluate a situation.
