A long talk

Kadizzle was working on a project when he noticed a four wheeled buggy pull up in the driveway. A man got out and wanted to buy our truck and camper. Kadizzle had mentioned to the man that he might want to sell them when he met the man at a garage sale. 

For about three hours the two of us, and eventually Winky talked. We talked about everything. The man was a pilot and he had some opinions about airlines, and the people who worked for them. One thing that upset him was male stewards dressing as women. He confirmed the high number of gay flight attendants. 

Much of the conversation revolved around politics, the government, and the usual political back and forth. 

Kadizzle would say the gentleman was about in the middle leaning toward conservative. One thing people realize when they do have an extended conversation is that they agree on about 70% of everything. The problem is people don't have civil conversations. Divisiveness is the new norm. If people only sat down and talked things would improve.
