      I drove through a town in eastern Washington and I though I was driving through some town in Austria or Bavaria. I think it was called Leavenworth which struck me as strange and confusing as I'm sure there was a prison somewhere with the same name although it might be spelled differently ? Washington has some incredible places that resemble being on the moon, being on the prairies or driving through the mountains and the Pacific coastline. All is worth the drive and seeing especially along hwy 2 east & west.

      My dad's dad (my grandpa) was a mail carrier for years on horse back and my dad's brother he was a mail carrier for several years when he was young and then my dad was a mail carrier for 35 years, starting out for numerous years on horse back (his dad's mail route) up until he had to go off to World War 2 . Then several years after that my dad came home from the war, he decided to go back delivering mail again and he got a route that included about half of his dad's old mail route territory and the other half was new territory . And then when I graduated from high school in 1981 I took over my dad's route for about 3 and 1/2 years while I was going to vocational school at night . The mail route that my grandpa had years ago, part of it was in Lawrence County, Kentucky and the rest of it was in Johnson County, Kentucky about half in Lawrence and the other half in Johnson. And my dad's route in later years most of it was in Johnson County, Kentucky and a small section of it was in Lawrence County, Kentucky . So my family knew everybody for miles around and everybody knew my family for years .

    I lived in Kit Carson, Colorado when I was 5 or 6 years old. My dad worked road construction. I also lived in Kiowa, Cheyenne Wells, I am 68 years old so this brings back memories.
    We lived all over Colorado & Wyoming. Oh wow same school colors. I think I lived in every rat hole in that state. Moved to California in 1972. Where I've been ever since. Do I miss Colo? No.
    That bird that is singing in the background is my favorite bird song.I Literally had to call my cousin and ask what bird it was so I could here that sound again. Lark Bunting.
    That assumption/ town gossip thing is the same all over Colorado. Always has been there. Ever since I can remember that's why I won't move back to Colorado. But I do have good memories.

    important subjects. We all have to eat. It would be worth while to try and connect with Alderspring Ranch in May, Idaho. They are really doing quality ranching with top notch husbandry of animals and land stewardship. You would have a few videos worth.

If it weren't for early American pioneers bringing bred stock animals into the American frontier (including California when it was still wild and unsettled) to raise crops (among other things) our nation would not have prospered and become the democracy it is today. Also, many people want pure bred dogs because such dogs retain all the good qualities that make them the best guardians of their hearth and home or for certain occupations such as law enforcement. As a law enforcement officer I can tell you that many K-9 units have pure bred dogs such as German Shepherds because they make the best officers (and yes, K-9 dogs are considered law enforcement officers). I am also an Army veteran and the K-9 units that I met in the military often (although not always) use pure bred dogs. There is a place for dog breeders in our culture and they form a necessary part of our society. As long as she is conforming to breeding standards and all state and local regulations, then there isn't a problem. I prefer to give her the benefit of the doubt because nothing in her demeanor makes me believe she is a criminal or some type of deviant like a terrorist (again keeping in mind my law enforcement and military background). Don't be so quick to judge people when you don't really know her or her family's life. People who are so quick to judge and condemn are often the ones who cause the fights that lead people like me to have to intervene to try to keep the peace.

And the charges are never “holds opposing viewpoint of the government”, of course not! Because that’s not a crime, so charges are fabricated to be something seriously exaggerated to sound like some crime on the books! But it IS for having the opposing viewpoint, which I believe is the majority viewpoint, but they don’t want us to think we’re not alone, so mind control tactics are deployed online so we feel like we’re in the minority with our views.

    One thing that people need to understand is that ranching and farming is not just a business, it's a lifestyle. The people who ranch or farm are very passionate about it. Also, people need to understand that destroying the land or mistreatment of animals wouldn't be in the ranchers best interests. They are the best conservationists, the best land managers, and care about animal welfare, not only from a passionate point of view but from a business model for success. To do otherwise wouldn't make sense.

      Most "college age" people in these towns, are from these towns. While a lot of younger folks go to college and don't move back, there's always some who stay around, thus keeping these small towns alive. Many have family farms, or business's they get involved in, or there's always at least some business's that need help.
      I live in a town of 250 people, in Kansas and we have about the same as Kit Carson, as far as businesses. In a lot of these small towns, things are more County wide, than just the town. So there's usually always County jobs, hospital jobs, school district jobs, etc. As a matter of fact, we gets folks in from all over the country, that move in where I live. Some stay, some leave and not every small town is the same. There's lots of different personalities and types of folks in small towns, but overall, people are decent folks.

I have lived in a city and I can tell ya it's a quantity vs quality mentality that you're talking about. Even if people don't get along around here, they'd still help, if a person needed help. So the "social circles" you talk about, are the towns themselves, not just cliques of people, or networks, like in the cities. Just like how the first lady in this video was. Everywhere she went, she was calling everyone by their first name and she probably sees them multiple times a week. How often does that happen in cities? Nowhere near as much, unless a person constantly frequents an establishment. Cities have to have something major happen, before they usually "come together", out here it's an everyday thing. Not saying there isn't quality folks in cities, but there's a lot of crap in them too. Some of us sacrifice "convenience" and abundance, for quality of community.
