ME READING STUFF

Sorry about the blanket statement on Californians. When I get back to the middle of the country, I turn a bit hostile towards the kindness level on the coasts. I like people pleasant. Kill me.

I met the sweetest woman named Sandy on a plane yesterday. She told me she lost her husband (to a heart attack), daughter (to an overdose), and granddaughter (to suicide). All in 2 years. She bought herself a beach cruiser bike in pink (because her daughter and granddaughter love pink) and she's going to ride it around her neighborhood every evening this Fall.

"It's true, hope can cause pain." - Joanne Kyger

"I one time met an Australian person online and I said something about liking chips and dips and they go 'Oh, I've heard that people eat dip. What is dip?'" -Me

"Violence is not a mystery. Or if it is, the solution is so much bigger than just finding out who did it. Whenever there’s a mass shooting, people want to know why. We want to have a motive, and then when we get the motive, it’s always incredibly dissatisfying — because there’s nothing that could justify shooting a bunch of people, and that’s also true of killing anyone." - Alice Bolin
