Here’s hoping for lots of blue this November. As an Arizona native who has been living in Norway for 20 years, I do commiserate with you and your thoughts in this post (and shake my head at those hateful flags that flew in your neighborhood). I’m happy to hear that you and your husband are happy and safe in your current host country.

The last time I was in Arizona, which was back in 2017 when my mom passed, a cashier in Walgreens, after finding out we lived in Norway, was very concerned for our welfare since “ isn’t Norway near Sweden and isn’t it dangerous there?” (this was right after the “Last night in Sweden” nonsense perpetrated by that terrible guy). I have to sigh and shake my head at this type of attitude and just hope that people there (and across the US) will get out and vote as though our homeland’s future depends on it.
