I am visiting a friend in a red state. Went to a diner/bar last night. It was someone's birthday so everyone sang. A friend or relative at her table had brought (brung?) brownies. She asked people at the tables around her if people wanted brownies, we all did LOL. My first thought is "are they going to LET her do that?? Where are the brownie police? This isn't technically food from a licensed restaurant I can't believe no one cares." It was so refreshing to be in a place where people were just normal. Felt like being in a time machine back to early 1970 when the center was still holding.
Like when we did a road trip to South Dakota and I saw ammo for sale right at the gas station counter. Didn't even get asked for ID, if you're from a blue state it's surreal when you get to experience how the rest of the country lives.
I hope so because that would be mind numbing. Going from a red state to a blue state during COVID. Nightmarish.

Brought.
Brung is nonstandard, generally used only in "dance with the one that brung you."
