Bonded with my son in law over a game of Untitled Goose. That was insane. 😆

Im loving having long hair. But I’m gonna have to give up carrying a purse…

I’ve been on recent cycle of listening to a lot of Elvis Costello, Rolling Stones, Tracy Chapman, Slaid Cleaves… makes for interesting mix for my Apple Music algorithm.

“They ripped me off like false lashes” is a really good line (Taylor Swift song)

John Roberts will go down in history as one of our worst Chief Justices. His legacy.

Giving direction in the South in USA: When you see the giant cross, take that exit. If you see the giant confederate flag, you missed the exit. (I 75, getting into I 4 to go to Lakeland)

And finally:

I’m at a “Japanese” restaurant in Lakeland. I think there might be one Asian person working here.

It’s a counter service place. I ordered Hibachi Chicken, which Jon requested. The very white clerk asked me: do you want fried rice and vegetables with that? I asked: doesn’t it come with those?? She just wanted to know if it was OK. Who the heck is ordering at this restaurant? 😆 The menu states and the photo shows rice and veggies. I guess some people expect only meat? I said yes I wanted the meal as described.

I hear her asking other people the same thing. I guess it’s a point of confusion here.

This is (so far) the most country bumpkin southern Asian food place I’ve ever been.

This may be one of our challenges living here: how to express dismay without being insulting?

I’m sure my face said: what the Fuck are you going on about, woman?
