2. I am so tired of Arkansas. For awhile we were pretty progressive. Now I feel like 1965 Selma.

Thank God I am almost 67. I just hope I am not a long liver, But I am healthier than all the 20-40 year olds I worked with. I am wondering about taking up smoking and drinking. I don't want to live here another 10 years.
