This is Eddie. When you see him, you might be tempted to run to the hills. But no need: he isn't a Nazi, he just wants to rock your face off.

The manhole cover by the supermarket around the corner, here, was made in a country that no longer exists. And the supermarket used to be an East German cooperative shop. The decor still kinda looks like it.

I was just out for a stroll to pick up some groceries and this building got deep on me.
I always forget, and then every time I pass by this place, I noticed this.

✅ wake up
_ work out
_ march against ICE in Berlin's Tiergarten
_ give moral support at knitting meetup
Hat because California. Shirt because F these guys. They don't get to take away my neighbors.
But first I need to get my glasses adjusted. And also wash the sunscreen out of my eyes. Already.

Now that I think about it, asking for pineapple juice and sparkling water in German sounds a lot like drunkenly insulting the waiter in English.

The final was great. My personal MVP (and LARS's -- he got the ceremonial growler and scarf) was Emiro Garcés. Prevented at least a couple likely NY goals, put his body on the line...it was impressive to watch. I also applaud Paintsil and Pec for amazing hustle and skill. The whole team, really.

Sometimes, pathetic fallacy is a beautiful thing. Just got some good news and walked out into bright sunshine. I feel nice right now.
