I made it home and have been happier than a pig in shit. There’s so much to do here it’s a wonder why the youngins here often turn to illicit activity, maybe it has something to do with the cow field in our neighbors back yard.

I always luck out when it comes to airplanes. This priest was just ordained in Italy but was from Huntington Beach so he said awesome and dude a lot (like in reference to Jesus). I guess molesting little boys is exhausting for a newcomer… just kidding he was really nice.

Luckily, I have a handsome, charming, talented lil brother to help me with my bike at the airport. He plucks the banjo like his fingers were on fire and can shimmy up a tree with the grace and footwork of a young monkey.

My stepdad built our house with wood he milled in the backyard, and it’s the coziest thing that exists right now.

I love my doggy but he’s so old I have to poke ‘em every now and then to make sure he’s still alive.

Best part about being home, FULLY STOCKED KITCHEN! and really strong plumbing cause this stuff goes right through ya.

Mom ‘n’ Hank ‘n’ Frank of the Bozart Trio practice for their big gig at the folk dance. It was quite the success, I love being swung around by sweaty old men.

Here in ‘Nole land we take Gator control very seriously. Even though Chief Osceola was killed in the prisons of Florida after years of struggling to save his tribe, he just makes the best mascot ever!

So next year when alla ya’ll come and visit, I’ll take you down the Ichetucknee river, it’s the most beautiful thing you’ll ever see and the funnest time you’ll ever have. Only pansies get tubes.

Plus the guys renting them out are, well, maybe a bit on the extreme side.

But hell, they do have quite an artistic flair, and my god they make a mean batch of hot boiled peanuts.

Honostly though… it almost makes up for the fact that….

…these are everywhere.

We have a pretty tight family so slumber parties are a nightly occurance at the house.

Me and the cuzins went on a bike ride from my house to my aunties which is a half hour drive two hour bike ride, but how can you resist that canopy road?

I think Sam’s been here too long.

I love Berkeley but I’m not ready to leave this yet. You can take the girl out of the south, but you can’t make her less of redneck.
