Got one kid to come along, other one was holding out for getting picked up by friends for fast food. Apparently that sounds way cooler than jogging with your father.

Absolutely perfect temperature for it being July in Iowa. 79 degrees and hardly any humidity.

Came across a lone tree. White ash. One of the most common trees in North America and symbolizes protection, prosperity, and sea rituals. Not sure what ‘sea rituals’ all encompass, but I feel that may be a rabbit hole I go down later.
