You’re in eccentric brilliant people capital of earth.
Idk about that, but there sure are all types, working together, paying each other in hardcopy cash. We have enormous Amish and Mennonite communities here. They provide us with just about anything we really need, especially good work-working skills, and uncontaminated wood. They sure know how to make donuts.
Apolitical because they’re above and below herd politics.
The closer we get to Alfred U, the farther we go from apolitical. But here in my town of Wellsville, politics is hardly even a thing. Tai Chi is readily available all over the place. It's both very odd and very easy to live here. Alcohol is a bit too much the only thing to do, though. Hillbillies drink with college professors. A really nice brewery and arts center, our bits of downright erudite. Interesting.
You just described my town, minus the Amish, Mennonites, and good donuts.
“...both very odd and very easy to live here.” I’ll take that mantra with me on my day walks.
