Blue Tongue Lady in a Red Coat

I was duly warned not to move my blue tongue to a red state where the demons of conservatism would certainly eat me alive!
Well, I’m here to tell y’all something. I might slurp up the blueberry juice, and conservatives might lick the red off the candy, but it’s never no mind in the good ole’ south where southerners just don’t know anything about ungracious.
We’ve been in Brunswick for about 1 month and 1/2 now, and loving it more with each day…sure, I grew up here with many childhood memories and am loving the flash backs. But I love the people more. All I have met have warmly invited me into their lives, political leanings aside.
There was a time when I worried that people were defining themselves by their political views, but I can see now I had nothing to worry about.
So, from the Blue Tongue Lady, thank you, to all the really wonderful people down here…and lest I forget, thank you for the great food too. However, I think my growing bulk will probably remind me of how much I love southern food!

People Aren’t Dumb, They Simply Want Peace

As the years pass, it seems as if people feel the need for internal peace and quiet. The days of being sharp as a whip, and caring whether you come in first seem so tiring when you get older. This must be the reason that older America seems to find it easier to go with the current flow, without questioning the integrity of the flow.
It’s sad. I’ve finally realized this though, and it’s giving me some sort of peace to understand that the capacity for intellectual curiosity does not necessarily mean a lack of intellect, as much as an atrophied brain muscle. That might not be so bad if “la la land” is what one is ultimately seeking.
