My sister's Pam & Laina live in the little bubble known as Wheaton, Illinois. Very white, very republican, very linear. Straight lines, flat surfaces, and blue Skies. Wheaton reminds me of Majestic, that well-heeled neighbor to Agrestic, in the Showtime drama "Weeds".
The day after I got here, a crazed gunman took hostages at a local bank; considering the town has virtually no crime, I sort of felt like I hit the jack pot in terms of excitement.
Meanwhile my sister Pam and her husband Brian took off for the weekend, to celebrate their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. They drove up to Saugatuk, a gay-friendly resort on Lake Michigan. During a romantic walk on the beach, as they strolled toward the dunes, they had a sighting...
Brian: "I think there's a naked man up there in the dunes. Do you think this is a nude beach?"
Pam: "Duh Brian, there are three nude guys staring at each other, and all these empty boats bobbing in the water, this isn't a nude beach... it's a gay prostitution ring!"

Oh! I like it when things get stirred up for the white conservatives. ;-)
I live in a bubble too - actually two of them - as Buffalo and Seattle are both diverse (fairly), and liberal.
Hopefully, that balances out your relatives. *WINK*
Is that a pic of Pam and Brian on the beach? There's a resemblance, I think.
America is getting its just deserts for not electing Hillary. Now that McCain oven chips man's trouncing Obama and America shall be punished with Sarah Palin in the Whitehouse!
Gleds: I wouldn't call it "just desserts", BUT, I do think Hillary would be better suited to take on McCain-Palin. Of course, if she were the nominee, McCain would have picked a black man, so...
whatever.
