I barely have enough memory to remember people’s real names. You have an alternate universe in your head. Amazing.

You had me fooled with the Russia beauty who looks so much like many of the images we practice on in my weekly art class! Fooled and sufficiently intrigued to find out the real story. Almost an allegory for Corona.

If you would lie to me about lovely Marina, er, I mean lovely Russian girl in Moscow, can I believe you about anything else?

Bring a Bible. I'll put my hand on it, unlike Donald.

Left or right? Or maybe the question should be, KJV or NIV?

Hi Herder. This is just a spontaneous response, so take it with grain of salt. A couple things: Yes, the community around me is good peeps, as you put it. But Montana isn't for everyone- you might want to test the waters a bit first. Perhaps a trial run in the summer?

You might try getting on the Next Door app and mentioning your skills above. Maybe there's a retired couple or widow, (or bunch of them) who need just what you can offer. warning- rent is crazy high and good places are scarce.
