Small town Arkansas scares the shit out of me. I ran a marathon in a small town there. Most marathons in the states start with the national anthem because of rampant jingoism and its subscribers massive insecurity. That I get. This was after Kapernick, and the PA said that he better not see anyone kneel or he will personally make sure they can't stand back up. The chill in that air in the humid AF May air in that crowd is something I won't forget.

I got invited to my 10 year class reunion. No way I'm going to that. Half the class is in jail or escaped this state. The reunion will be like 10 people
