I've learned a lot in the last few years about how people try to survive and I'll never look down my nose at any.

We have a lot of people with mental health issues here. Perhaps because it once has a large state hospital here, or more, I think, because the population is understanding.

My only negative interaction, so far, has been a guy who obviously hated anybody who was a trumper (meaning everybody else.)

I try to smile and be helpful but I also get out of the way when that's the most expedient path.
