But when I lived in Cincinnati it was a majorly red city. It was depressing. Now, I can't believe they elected a Dem mayor!

Hang in there, samplegirl. Interacting with Nature can be wonderfully rejuvenating. Taking walks, playing with the dogs, working in the garden, riding, taking care of all the other animals is what keeps me from totally losing it.

Your art is a bright spot here, and uplifting for the rest of us.
