left for the Peace Corps. She's always been modest and caring toward
others, with a well-developed set of values and morality, but she
also liked the finer things. She lived in cities here before leaving
for the PC.
The change that has emerged over her now two years in the PC is that
she appreciates that most of what she valued in a material sense
formerly is unnecessary fluff.
Actually, she is in a city, and the Peace Corps pays the rent on her
place (she is responsible for all other daily expenses). Until
recently, food was pretty cheap for her, and she's doing without
purchases of new clothing for the most part. Her utilities are about
$4 a month; she has no car there, so does snot have that expense.

Time will tell. I'm just talking about the USA. But this is hitting
faster and getting more infotainment mention earlier than I imagined.
It's been coming for months.

Doubtless it touched others, too. But no one here said a word. I
still have a draft I wrote about it when I was just coming out of
lurkiness here. She's quite the evolved person. Like you. And your
children.
