I've been fine but there has been enough going on in my life that I've not spent nearly as much time on Gather. And Idaho is still the most Republican state in the nation. Makes living here interesting! view James's profile | Ping James Dennis Gilman , Nov 18, 2009, 9:00AM EST Yeah Cheri. I am not surprized that youe Niece and family would suffer culture shock. To bad I couldn't have helped to prepare them before. The cities and major town are not as bad, but they appear to be in a rural area like me. I must have a large water tank and I cannot depend 100% on the public electricity supply. If they can tough it out, they will get used to it. The people tend to be very friendly, gregarious ang generous. view Dennis 's profile | Ping Dennis Sandre M., Nov 12, 2009, 11:51AM EST Are you kidding, Cheri? If Pasadena doesn't want it, I do! LOL.
