This got me to go get a library card today!

Phone calls that don’t end in Goodbyes.

No wait! That’s movies and tv. Nobody ever talks on a phone in a book.

How about your month-old iPhone in a concert port-a-potty?

All salt is sea salt.

Definitely learned it until you got it right. Kids in small-town Illinois in the 70s didn’t get to sixth grade without decent cursive. Still can - but chose all caps 10 years ago.

1995 book, lol

First day here and my feed is all Kendrick Lamar and Wicked. Not what I was hoping for, lol.
