I don&#8217;t know how things will play out nationally. And while I am not happy about how they played out in my state &#8230; we have to move forward. We have several crises: pandemic, economy, climate change, racism. But maybe the real crisis is how do we come together, stop the name calling and the blaming (I&#8217;ve done my fair share in my head :( ) and move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever the national and other regional outcomes, how do we stop the meanness and work together on solving problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rainbow5744IG-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rainbow5744IG-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rainbow5744IG-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rainbow5744IG-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rainbow5744IG-1-40x40.jpg 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe we need to take the high road.
