… is really not so bad, all things considered. 🇺🇸
And though I’ve seen all 50 States, I’m only 21 countries in…
And even here in the US, I’ve only been to 18 of 59 National Parks.
I have a long way yet to go!

Quiet down, y’all
Which is, surprisingly, not the start of a rant about the Sniffler (joined today by a Sniffless), the Shout-Sneezer, the Serial Chip-Cruncher, Miss Obnoxious Loud Cell Ring On Her Abandoned Phone, or even Mr. Apparently Can’t Hear How Loud His Computer Is But Everyone Else In The State Can.
