We're on the left coast. These days, everything we do is wrong unless we are
left wingers, which I am not.

I'm on a Seattle Vintage group. Someone posted a pic of the old Twin Teepees

whippersnapper took offense to the picture and went off on a diatribe about
how offensive was. Demanded that the post be removed.
