🌿 "What’s the stupidest way to get injured? Follow the pundits and politicians who said every quagmire war was noble and every criminal elite was on the verge of indictment and every obvious crisis was your hysterical imagination and every vulnerable population was an existential threat..."≈Kendzior

"The stupidest way to get injured is to view everything through cynical wounds and never imagine a more generous world." #SarahKendzior

Just finished The Last American Road Trip by Sarah Kendzior.

“Pelting hail with thunder riffs,” sort of an atypical work from “The Parkways Projects.” I scooted down in the seat to shoot Grandaddy’s 1955 Chrysler 300-A.
