MILLIE: Return to your toilet

Poor Millie. It wasn’t enough for you to insult the city of Post Falls, and the state of Idaho. Now you’ve started insulting the residents as well. So I have two questions.

1. Why did you come here?

2. Why do you stay here?

I moved here from the great Southwest desert 12 years ago because of the laid back and virtually crimeless atmosphere that exists in North Idaho. The air is clean, the waters are clear and the mountain scenery is fantastic.

Too many Californians move here to get away from the mess that state has become, and immediately start trying to turn North Idaho into the toilet they left behind.

My wife and I left Phoenix because the air was filthy, the traffic was horrible, crime was out of control and our employers started telling us we needed to learn Spanish! I don’t even want to start on the illegal alien subject. You can quite literally call the police and order a pizza at the same time, and the pizza will show up first.

You really need to move back, Millie. To the smog, traffic jams, crime, noise and all the other garbage that is there, and where you can make snarky comments about the good, polite and hard working people of North Idaho.

I’m sure all of your snooty and whining friends will think you’re very cute and clever! We however do not!

You can do all of us a favor by going back. Better hurry! It’s supposed to snow this week!

and glad to be here!
