This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I lived near Federal Way, and by driving just 15 min, I could go see people riding horses, idiots rolling coal, and trailer trash communities and everything. Just a block or two over from my house, I'd see the stereotypical furniture and appliances littering front lawns. A block or two the other direction was typical was typical PNW neighborhoods with cedar shake roofs nestled into the evergreens. And a few blocks beyond that would be someone with a couple cows on a massive field.

WA is an odd place. I'm in Utah now in a similar community, and there seems to be far fewer "rednecks" in my area. There are some farms, but I guess there just isn't as much "liberal" culture to visibly resist or something. Our actual rednecks live a bit further out, and they're probably more extreme (have some DezNat nonsense here in the sticks). We have more lifted trucks, whereas in WA they'd be older work trucks (they actually have hay to move).
