We recently traveled to the Finger Lakes region of New York. We saw dairy farms, wineries and breweries overlooking Seneca Lake. This great country of ours holds such astounding beauty.

Our tale takes a darker turn as we continued northward to Little Sodus Bay.

We began to see the flags. Our Stars and Stripes, upside-down. Don’t Tread on Me. Trump won. *%&! Biden. Biden sucks.

We arrived at a historic hotel and were met by the owner. We were the only guests that night. Inexplicably, he launched into his views about the Constitution. He said to pay attention on Friday because the result of the Arizona audit would be released.

A feeling of unease overshadowed the joy felt earlier in the trip. We left early the next morning.

We will not recommend this otherwise lovely hotel to our friends.

I am sick of this behavior. People say, “That’s not me." If you do not speak against this behavior, then it is you.

On Friday, we learned that the audit in Arizona, which was funded in part by taxpayers, failed to show fraud. In fact, Biden gained votes.

Our beautiful country has an ugliness that is destroying it from within.
