I really appreciate your response here!

Living in a largely republican region of upstate NY, I've tried to remain on good terms with my neighbors. Only one household dislikes me ..... though they waved a couple of times after seeing on the internet that my son won another NYS Golden Gloves title. He did his roadwork by their place, and most people know him. Although he is nice and shy, many find him intimidating because he doesn't talk much. But he did win an election for town justice by a 545 to 5 margin against a republican. The court had become rather rowdy, and the thought was that no one would lip off to him -- people actually told me that! -- as if he would beat people up!
