If you want to call this political, then fine, but it’s just an observation.
Every Christmas I fly from Atlanta to Omaha and then drive to North Platte to see my parents.
Observation 1 - For most of the drive, it’s remarkable that the drive doesn’t look a lot different than in the 70s. The general landscape is almost the same with the only noticeable difference being that there are now mile markers on I-80 every half mile instead of every mile.
Observation 2 - When I got to North Platte, there was something markedly different. There are about 3 times the volume of Christmas lights and decorations on the homes in the town, even one of the largest and best displays I have seen on a single wide trailer. I can’t help but feeling that a lot of people believe that it’s morning in America again.
There, I said it!
