Had lunch at Hodad’s in Ocean Beach. I’ve featured this icon of a burger joint in a novel and at least three short stories, so you’d think they would’ve covered our meal. 😅

Hey everyone. Sorry to be asking with things the way they are , but the power steering pump is almost dead on our car and it’s going to cost around $1000 to fix. It’s an older Mazda and it’s tucked into the most awkward place ever! And it’s original to the car. IYKYK. WD-40 going to make a fortune.

I just called @schumer.senate.gov & left a message saying I didn’t march with 7 million Americans against Trump, his administration, and his racist, horrendous mandates or help hand Dems a landslide in election victories DAYS ago by voting for Prop 50 for him to cave to Republicans.

Top-notch On Fire and Under Water product placement, @richienarvaez.bsky.social. 😎

Fantastic episode of The Open Mic with Rich Ehisen, talking with Richie Narvaez about his excellent story in the anthology and all his superior works. Great conversation.
