When JB met my sister for the first time, he said she was the anti-me. We are pretty different, in a lot of ways. I'd love to move and travel fairly often, and I just realized the other day, as an adult she's never lived outside of a 50 mile radius of the home we grew up in in San Antonio. She has two kids and is active in her Christian church. Yeah, I'm pretty much an agnostic, at best... And, my two pups are the closest thing to children that I'll ever want.
Anyway - I love her. She's in a tough small farming town just outside the big city, which enables her to have a nice multi-acre spread for her family, and maintain a standard of living for her boys. No cable. No high-speed modem (at least, last I heard). They live it, and I respect it. And, her boys are good, well-mannered kids - she's doing the right things.
She writes articles for the local small-town paper. It's hard, because she's a LOT more liberal than most folk around those parts. Which is why I have to love and respect her even more when she stands up, and writes stuff like this. She's speaking up. She may not be radical, but she's making herself heard.

You're an everyday angel.
