(11,595 posts)We used to live in a red county of WA State, so I sympathize. I lost my patience with some I met a few times Unfortunately there are some in this State (Hawaii), too, but they are a minority--Hawaii is blue.
Welcome.

Of course, none of that makes sense (but is all still true) if I misinterpreted your Balti.

Enjoy yourself!!!
