Some slavery/ some states' rights/power of fed gov. I'm okay with that, I think, but the place Arizona really failed me was the near-total absence of labor history. Like, I think we had one day on the Triangle Fire and one day on like all of Samuel Gompers and them...pretty pathetic. It took me years to realize that I didn't know my own working class white person history.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I do not have the wherewithal to unpack my Civil War educational history. It's complicated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I have almost 7 years to figure out what I was doing wrong with the interlacing fingers, so I am ready for next time!

meara, where were the batting cages you went to? On Stark, by any chance? I ask because there are batting cages near my sister's house that I use as a landmark and it would really be something if that's where you were.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I was born in TN, in the '50s and looking back, I got a lot of the casual racism in grained. It wasn't until I was older that I realized that some of the songs my older sisters had learned in Camp Fire Girls were about slaves, real slaves.
And I thought the song, In the Dixieland was about me be cause I was born, early on a frosty morn, in Dixieland. Seriously!
By the time I was in High School, and we'd moved quite a bit and far away from TN, I knew the Civil War was about slavery. It was also the height of the Civil Rights movement, so that had a lot to do with my knowledge level.

Neighborhood wine night. And I got my recluse neighbor across the street(who I didn't meet until this weekend! And she's been here 32 years!) to attend. And she's signing up for more and joined a bookclub/foodclub another neighbor participates in. She's super interesting, I think she's just an introvert like me who hasn't been pressed to expand since she retired but is actually really game to meet neighbors if otherwise initiated.
It was good.

-t, they were out in Hillsboro? My friend lives in Aloha now, so it was near. They had bowling and batting cages

OK, not down the street from my sister. Sounds pretty fun, though
