I was in Washington, PA last month.

First night I walked to Applebees late at night.

The walk was an experience. Light rain, area seemed to be built within last 20 years, no effin sidewalks, forget about bike lanes.

Order a burger and beer, bartender checks in on me and says, you aren’t a local. Now I was wearing a California Republic hat, but still state, I am from CA. Her demeanor immediately changes. Whatever!

Walk back to hotel, in the mud. Next morning go to the lobby to get breakfast.

Fox News on, of course, story comes on about alligator Alcatraz, the room stops. I mean every person is standing/sitting slack jawed watching Douchey interview the FL Gov.

I stand up and throw my stuff away and state, I Don’t belong here. An employee laughs and says what? So I repeat, I DON’T BELONG HERE! She laughs, likely stuck in red hell. The room just glared at me.

IMO, fuck them, we made this Country great.
