No more sex with Trump supporters?
After the election in the USA: a mood picture as I experience it.
Supporters of the election winner Trump don’t need to be asked about their mood so soon after the election. There is an enthusiastic mood of optimism on social media. The opposite is true for Democrats. And now Joe Biden is authorizing Ukraine to deploy long-range missiles against Russia in the final meters of his term of office. More here.

On the Road
Back in ARKANSAS: I am in Eureka Springs for three weeks. Liberal enclave in the conservative southern state, since hippies settled here in the early 1970s to escape capitalism and lead a life “back to the land” in the hilly landscape of the Ozarks. Lesbians and gays followed later. It was the first place in Arkansas to allow same-sex marriages. Today, the small town with its winding streets and Victorian houses is a tourist magnet. This weekend is the 77th Original Ozark Folk Festival. In addition to lots of music, there is also an exhibition of black and white photos from the first Mountain Folk Fair in 1973 – the “Woodstock” of Arkansas.
