I decided one weekend to pop up to the Rocky mountains to visit the Stanley Hotel where the movie the Shining was filmed, just in case there were some real Crazies up there, nope, still full of nice kind people...

Oh how my perception of Yanks changed!

Maybe all the nutters are in Hollywood...

I spent a lot of time in Florida (the supposed craziest state of the lot) and the people there were............nice. Nicer than nice really.

I travelled down the PCH from Washington to California and the people were SO nice they did make the ones in Florida look less nice, but overall, all were nice, and polite, and courteous and well mannered and fun and lots of more niceness.
I think they herd all the less nice ones onto cruise ships and send them south.
