I like the dynamic balance, not tension...but balance.

That's a fine distinction and one no one talks of or mentions it at all,
it just is.

I fear if we start to analyze ourselves we fall apart.

And we have this friend-ness even in places mostly Latino and also
mostly rancher.

My thesis is a common enemy made us friends - a killing grade desert.

You have one of those, it also surrounds you.

Funny thing how a short leash makes all good dogs behave.
