The students are having serious post-election meetings. This is what students do - or at least the 20% of them who are Americans. For 2028 they're counting on Shapiro, Slotkin or Beshear to take up the torch although they think Vivek rather than Vance will be the opponent. The speakers at the colloquium ( a very college town word ) think that the Senate will flip in 2026 after two years of accelerating inflation. You've got to admire twenty year olds - they always look to the future. Turns out we know - or at least have had a couple of dinners with - the guy who is likely to be Treasury Secretary. Who ever would have thought that Fluoride in water could be such a controversial issue ?
The cheerful Filipinos have finished harvesting the cauliflower field and have now headed inland to make a start on the cabbage harvest. The Portaloo that stood in a corner of the cauliflower field is transported inland on the back of a trailer pulled by the farmers new tractor.

Just saw this. College towns are in blue.

That huge Devon house has only got 70+ years on its lease, plus a renewal for 50. I’d be suspicious of that.
Well spotted. That probably explains why as a farmhouse with sea views it's priced as it is.
See that southermost blue area on the Florida peninsula? That's where we live. Many universities.

Ye Gods... Does that change the emphasis of "being a Red"? Or is that too historic a reference for most folks? YAM xx
In contrast to Jake of Florida's comment above, I note that the state where I spent two years is the one that doesn't seem to boast a single 'college town'...
Cheers! Gail.
Oklahoma!
Correct. But the map now has me wondering about the definition of 'college town' as the Oklahoma is home to several universities e.g. OU, OSU, Tulsa.
I wondered that too
The Devon house is rather soulless - not a book in sight.
I, too, found the Devon house totally characterless and devoid of any charm.
