That graveyard, we were looking for flat headstones, which sucks, but it was tiny.

It was also near a river, and we kept sinking into the grass. We did our best not to think too much about that lol.

It's honestly one of my favorite memories from the trip.

Yes, I should have coordinated with the locals who oversee it. They may have even had a bunch of helpful and interesting info! I regret not doing more in advance.

But also I'm a city slicker goodie two shoes, so that was a fun moment. (3/4)

went to was locked up, and it was our last evening in the area. It said it was camera monitored but I knew that was due to the vandalism they dealt with :(.

So I scaled the fence and then let my mom in. I didn't even think twice and I'm usually such a rule follower. Mom was shocked! Lol (2/4)

Relatable af

Since "bodago county" and "Russian redwood county" aren't places, lol, found an old 1884 civil township map of Sonoma County that helps place some areas where he could've been. There is a Russian township, Redwood township, and Bodago township - and the Russian River runs through the first two.

Have to transcribe this whole thing but it notes that in 1860 in Bodago Co, California (make sense now that he's missing on that census), he lost 4 of his fingers on his left hand in a sawmill.

So he served in the Civil War with 6 fingers. Wow.

Hmmm see this is all I see

Totally. People who say "politics split up family" usually blame the victim who has had to cut family out for their own safety.

My family said I cut them out over politics, but the reality is what you say... if anything, they pick Trump and the alt-right identity over seeing me as a human.

It's not politics.

If a family is calling one of their child an evil and hateful antifa leftist, and says their gay child shouldn't have rights, and said victim decides to cut off their family to protect themselves, that's estrangement due to abuse.

Can these people be recalled?! This take is unbelievable.

This is crazy.

You have a rare orange girl???

My orange boy says hi.

Omg that's so much worse!! Mine were in the same state at least 🤣 though counties away and neither had cars I don't think.

I've done quite a bit of searching for a marriage license but I'm starting to think someone forget to file it.

Opposite ends of the country is wild.

That is so sweet of him, wow

"Split the vote" lol so you admit Cuomo is conservative?

This quote EATS. Put it everywhere. I want a sweatshirt with it on it.

My therapist literally mentioned this show to me yesterday lmao. This is a sign.

This avocado collar was such a win (for me, not for Pocket).
