Not much duller than a hunting report, so I'll report one funny remark. We were at a check. Subscriber B. and (usually silent) kennelman C., who is about 20 years old, looked at the back of my jeep, which carries a coil of rope.
"B. What do you have that rope in there for?
S. Well, it is down south, I am white, and the Democrats might get back in...*
B. I think you use it to tie up women. I hope they are pretty.
C. No, people notice when pretty ones come up missing. Go for the ugly ones."
Sounded disturbingly like the voice of experience...
* If the Ds get in, old style lynching might make a comeback.
It is generally "forgotten" in public discussions that the evil, racist, segregated, Klan, back-of-the-bus south was entirely ruled by legislators, governors, mayors, and sheriffs of the D party. (Except for a couple of isolated pockets like a few counties in upper East Tennessee.)
A joke in poor taste I know, I'd never stand for that sort of thing in real life.

You were very good at evading the question, unless you really did mean that part about the Dems getting back in. Hmmm...
Ah, Miss C., you live in the West.
