About Me

I truly believe that we will all live in peace and brotherhood someday. And so that I don't lose my faith in humanity, I will live my life as if that day had already happened.

6am every weekday morning, I'm driving down River Road to get to work in Tacoma.

In summer, as I drive by the Puyallup River, I see dozens of guys in hip-waders out in the middle of the river fishing.

6am.

On a weekday.

I just want to shout "Get a job!" as I drive by.

Or do they have jobs?

Do they just like to get in a little fishing before work?

My wife and I were having a political discussion,

and twice, I absently referred to Mike Pence as "Mike Trump".

I saw a Biden flag on the way to work today!

Big ole BIDEN 2020! flag on a Jeep just pulling into a parking lot as I passed by.

I didn't want to honk, and anything I shouted out my window in support might have been misconstrued.
