People tell me if I don’t like Missouri, I should leave. But, it’s a nice day and the breeze is blowing. I’m sitting in the side-by-side watching my donkey get his hooves trimmed by a local farrier.
I’m not leaving because of GOP authoritarinism. It’s my state too, and I’m tougher than they are…

With federal monies available, they reduce their aid.
