As I walked, I forced myself to be amazed by the efficiency of those government warnings I kept receiving, forced myself to have grownup, level-one social thoughts about how our government, so divided, so pathetic, so disrespected, still had the power to send a message to us all, to have everyone, for a brief moment at least, be on the same page.

Instead of looking on Netflix and indulging in a movie that our son has seen 13 times already, I drive with him over to the one brick-and-mortar video store in the neighborhood, where we have an account, and we pick out The Wizard of Oz.

So for your convenience, behold once again the archetypes presented on Big Day in a Small Town, and I'll probably miss a few: hairdresser chatting up her clients, bartender chatting up his patrons, a bunch of ordinary people with larger-than life problems, a character whose rant against the girl next door turns the song into a reverse girl next door tribute, a teenage homecoming queen turned regretful grownup, the poor in their comically huddled masses, two gals who don't believe in happily ever after anymore, a teenage mother and her hysterical mother, a high school football hero, an angry wife who took a baseball bat to her cheating husband, the tragic single mother, a spurned lover who hopes her ex one day has a daughter so he can freak out when boys treat her badly (mocking rather than mirroring the hypocrisy of such men), a woman whose partner drives her crazy but she loves him (her?
