Spring Break

Every year when spring comes around in the US, most people in school get a spring break. It’s like a week of relaxation. I don’t know if other countries do it to, but we do.

Not a super fan, but Mike Ness’ songwriting had an incredible effect on me in younger years. Seeing them again for the first time time in years was an absolute catharsis.

Walking in the rain

In the PNW it rains too much and too light to use an umbrella. So, you can tell a local from a visitor by who isn't carrying an umbrella. I love hiking in a light drizzle.
