IN LATE AUGUST 2019 MY WIFE AND I MOVED FROM THE SEATTLE AREA TO EAST WENATCHEE, AN AGRICULTURAL REGION IN CENTRAL WASHINGTON. I WENT FROM DODGING DRUG NEEDLES ON SEATTLE SIDWALKS TO THE CALM AND SANITY OF SMALL-TOWN AMERICA. WE LIVE IN A NORMAN ROCKWELL PAINTING. THE EMPIRE THEATER IS IN LIND, A SMALL FARMING TO THE EAST OF US. I FOUND THE TRUCK ABOVE NOT FAR FROM OUR WENATCHEE HOME, AND THE FLAG MURAL PAINTED ON THE WALL OF A WENATCHEE BUSINESS
