Evening Markus and Greg!
Denver can have some hard Left, this I know.
But it's funny. Cheryl always touts herself as a Democrat and while not uber Liberal, still votes blue. But relative to a lot of people we have been exposed to here, she's coming off waspy as hell. It's hilarious! She even agree that she is far more aligned with me politically than the locals.
That said, I have been informed that Vancouver is red and Portland is blue. I was advised to not buy a home in Vancouver because it lacks diversity. I was thinking - "Well Vancouver it is!"
I have no issues with skin color or country of origin. Hell.....I don't give a **** who or what anyone is sleeping with. But I can do without the daily freak show from neighbors or tent cities on the other side of my fence. No thanks.
Oh......and I was corrected - they are "houseless", not homeless. I'm sure that makes it better sleeping under a tarp in the rain.

I've only had 4-5 Mexican beers, Russ. Except for Modelo negro, they were all too sweet. I prefer a bitter, hoppy beer

The co-worker who's "partner" couldn't make it to the soccer game, so she invited me as a courtesy. Don't get me wrong, she's really nice and helpful. But people are funny in that they assume that their audience sees things the same way they do.

Ah ha! Awfully presumptuous of her.
Find a place in the least diverse, most waspy area you can find and invite her and her partner over for dinner.

Bob, what they see is not you, it’s who you represent. White, hetero, American males who aren’t bullied by their tactics. And it scares them.
