Thank you, Anastasia, for this simple and profound set of insights into the crazy place we call America. I know another Danish-American couple who went back to Denmark - America was just to chaotic and inauthentic. This last - inauthenticity - is something I struggle with and I have been here my whole life. Your first vignette captured it: Scams are part of life. It's not a good thing to admit we accept this. But you captured the essence of our world of slightly displaced truth and off-kilter contradictions.
