I'm not a Pollyanna type. But recent events have caused me to see how fortunate I am. I love my little community. It is not perfect, and affordability here in CA is a serious problem. But I still love it. I love the people. We are a majority Hispanic, blue city and living here is a gift. I love the scenery, the weather (70 plus degrees today, sorry) and the mostly the people. ALL of them. From the maga neighbor who thinks trump is wonderful but helped us when we had an emergency on Christmas Eve, to the homeless lady who smiles every time we give me her a few bucks, to the majority who just want to live and let live. The "vibe" here is casual and nonjudgmental. It is our community and our way of life and we love it.

Why am I bringing this up? Well, it dawned on me that that's what people in MN feel. They love their neighbors and community. And nothing is more threatening to trump. He does not want us to feel this way. He wants us hating and divided and resentful.

But MN fought back. We all owe them big time. And we all need to be ready when our time comes.
