It's very red, population about 15,000, but the people are nice and I don't bring politics up with people I don't know. One morning at Walmart I did get into an argument with a woman about global warming and vaccines, but the next time we saw each other we just sort of smiled and she taught me about how to tell male peppers from female peppers. Right now there is growing tension between the Conservatives and the Tea Party because of recent changes on our town council. I've been here since 2002 but I still don't completely understand the politics here. We do have a Democratic Party Headquarters! But we (NOT ME) keep voting for Paul Gosar, which defies comprehension.
