    I hear you. Last year I took the Amtrak California Zephyr from Emeryville/San Francisco to Chicago and was mesmerized by the beauty of this country. Phenomenal experience so grateful I was able to take that train ride.

    I plan on doing this with my son for about a year when he turns around 5. I think I would stay a little longer in states/cities though so I would eliminate not knowing where to go/camp most nights. But you have completely inspired me to take my child out and get some experience. I don’t want to fully homeschool but I think taking a year off every 5 years to just explore and homeschool him and would be amazing!

    Hi Nomi! I'm an insurance agent in regards to your windshield. I highly recommend calling your insurance carrier and asking if they offer a $0 glass deductible for your comprehensive coverage. It won't cover your existing damage, but will help for the future 😊

    Hi, you take very good care of your vehicle & I’m sure you have insurance. In case you weren’t aware, your Comprehension protection covers the crack & even chips in windshield. Deductibles on Comp are usually less than the collision. Most companies will waive the deductible for repairs of chips. Travel safe…yeah, no steal thing in in small towns.
    Stay safe & Be Well.

    You're a great cook and your food looks delicious, please be-careful with Tuna, since it causes Neurological and behavioural disorders after ingestion or exposure of different mercury compounds. Symptoms include tremors, insomnia, memory loss, neuromuscular effects, headaches and cognitive and motor dysfunction. Tuna has a lot of heavy metals and it's really toxic to the brain, salmon and other fish don't have so many heavy metals. Especially canned Tuna, has high levels of heavy metals 🙏

Maybe I've seen too many movies, about happenings in small towns, i just hope you'll be safe and aware, i know that you are. I recently watched Doc Hollywood with Michael J.
