Jam bowl filled with only strawberry jams
I knew this diner had its shit together the moment I saw the jam bowl.

Always carry the strap, Brian. It’s winter. Just always bring the strap.

Waxing skis. All three are waxing skis.
If the forecast is lying I will be *quite* displeased.

20.11.2024 13:28 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Just finished George Saunders’ Lincoln in the Bardo. I generally like his stuff and this was no exception. Found it quite moving, but couldn’t decide by the end whether he hit the hard questions straight on or managed to slide past them. Would definitely recommend!
