Sunday

It IS what we've become. I worked in and around a major national park for decades and I saw the profile of the average tourist go from respectful and interested in the environment they were visiting to complete assholes as were on display at this golf event. Seriously, this is how they treat uniformed park rangers and other employees. Been that way since about the middle of Obama's 2 terms. It got so bad since 2016 that I decided to leave the region and get away from that sort of social nightmare.
