I enjoy the international nature of Pixies. I could never have learned first hand what other people think and feel. Here. Now. About the same topics I read and hear about. How surprisingly similar some of their views are to mine – and how unexpectedly different. Even within these United States, the range (and intensity) of opinions is enormous.

I’ve made friends around the world here, and I’ve discovered some things here about myself, and some of those discoveries were unsettling.

Reading the stories and lookin’ at the ladies is also very pleasant.

As Oldfart said above, “I would not have missed it for the world”.
