You know, I’m done with typing people’s politics based on looks, now that I’m back in the world and meeting people. Ive just met way too many blue collar beer-gutted men that are liberal Democrats, and too many long-haired tie-dyed yoga hippies that are Trump Won conspiracy freaks. In the absence of a MAGA hat or a Joe Biden swim ring (one of my neighbors brings one to the pool on a regular basis) or some other clear-cut indicator, I’ve learned I just can’t tell by looking. ---

Oh absolutely. And my change in political stance didn’t come with a change in wardrobe. I’m just saying that at least in this case it seems to fit. ---

Yeah, this. My unvaxxed Trumpist gun nut brother is a long-haired tie-dyed Deadhead freak who’s fine with gay people getting married and women being in control of their own bodies My beerbellied, goateed, short-haired Budweiser-swilling blue-collar buddy from way back (elementary school) is a hard-core Marxist stonemason union member labor activist who despises the way his fellow union members voted for Trump and would still get behind him (and also thinks the Democratic Party has abandoned labor). Oh, and he also owns guns. Ya never know. ---

I voluntarily watch. 😁 It’s sort of like pimples, or those old surgery shows on TLC…you just can’t look away. Yep, they stick a tube in there and put a rubber band or a castration band around it, if it’s handy. Also, it’s important to isolate the affected piggy so his/her pen mates don’t start nibbling. And yes, the show features abscesses too. Depending on which vet is doing the lancing, you might even get a description of the smell. ---
