A vacation from politics

A man from Ohio decided to give it all up because Donald Trump won--a stay at home version of moving to Canada. And he found peace, and a lake. He blocks all news from TV, radio, newspaper—won’t even allow his friends to discuss anything political.

Before our summer home in Lakeside on Lake Erie became expensive and modern, we used to have a peaceful week as renters with no TV, no radio, no newspaper, and no phone--and the car remained in the drive-way. The peace was a shock to the system. News addicts can do this any time, but once you take that first looksee, you're a goner.
