This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I was talking to a friend yesterday who owns a bar and he was saying that it’s been a rough time for the service industry because people have changed their habits. They pick up takeout instead of sitting down to eat. They drink less but he says they sell a whole lot of nonalcoholic cocktails. 1/2

I work with trees, often at construction sites, which have a 7-3 work day. My kids and I bike to school at 6:30, often in the dark. We have bike lights and reflective gear. We roll to the edge of the drive, look left, right, and say together, “We’re brave, we’re strong. We ride at dawn.”
