I learned about Hannah by reading garden & gun 20 years or more. Geronimo Rex was one of the most eye opening experiences I've ever had in literature. Thanks for telling people about Hannah and thanks for writing all you do.

Hey mate,

You know there is a direct correlation in that the longer you are away from home the better the girls start looking. Might be time to head home I reckon😜

I lived in small towns in Oregon and Vermont in the 70's and 80's. We had gay couples then too and nobody cared. It was quietly ignored. Small towns that have good personalities care for their own. You can think of it as being like city neighborhoods, each has its own personality.

The pastel people sound like the Fraternity people when I was in college. When I got to know some, they were great people.

Apparently, in the last few years Mississippi has improved greatly in education. Here is a link.

Great link. I live in one of the worst performing states and worst school districts in that state. It is the policies without question. I read about how MS did it which was quality instruction and holding kids back if they were not getting the material. NV still pushes kids through who would benefit from another year of maturity. MS still is at the bottom for spending so we know it is not about the money.

I wish I would have known you were coming down. I would have been happy to set some things up for you. Cheers, JD!
