Very interesting and well written. I can’t help but note the irony of the restack of the insightful parts about compromise and compassion from a particularly problematic user here who embodies the utter opposite of both. But hey, maybe she’s learning from you (though I doubt it).

Paul, this was wonderful! I could relate to many aspects of it, especially the "She's from Canada" part. Although, I'm always proud to hear or say I'm from Canada (even though I can't afford to live here anymore 🀣)

Your entire post reminded me of a thought I had many years ago: Everywhere is a vacation destination to someone.

Thanks, Kristi. What a great thought, β€œEverywhere is a vacation destination to someone.” I live in a region that has a huge tourism industry. When holiday season comes, many locals can’t wait to go somewhere else that has sunshine, beaches, breweries, and golf courses…

The same as I’m not crazy about the city I live in but we draw over a million tourists every July for our Calgary Stampede. I avoid the Stampede like the plague lol.
