Dogwalk Musings: Welcome to This Parallel Universe

Mari/Dogwalk Musings has a Tucson friend who's written a book about a parallel universe. Mari sez her friend should feel at home in Kootenai County. Here's her examples of how we locals live in a parallel universe:

"Where else will she find teen age boys wandering around town with pistols and rifles slung on hip and shoulder to educate us about our second amendment rights? Where else will she find the mayor of the town involved giving their actions a pass?

"Where can a developer willing to step up to the plate with $10,000 to sponsor the 4th of July celebration get tarred and feathered for his generosity because he's a "developer"?

"Where else will she find nearly a full page of coverage in the local paper decrying the explosion in the cat population with "Kitten Season" not yet at it's peak? And the fact the the local megabucks man is opening his lake home for a Humane Society fund raising event when he could well build an entire facility for our unwanted and misplaced furry friends with his pocket change?"

Question: can you add to Mari's list?
