Yeah I live in California and there’s a million cities that are not pronounced the way they are spelled. It’s like California has to be unique and everything. I live near a city called Lodi. (Low die) And another called ione (I own uh) then there’s my favorite, Los Banos which is ABSOLUTELY NOT SPANISH FOR TOILET! IT IS LOS BANE OHS!! Lol, it’s actually cool how different regions will mutilate similar words based on who the fuck knows what

Oh shit nice. I see your shit here all the time, that’s awesome. Since you’re from the area I live in Auburn. Even up here it’s too fucking hot right now! My ac went out Thursday and as I’m sure you know that was perfect timing… Bout to take my ass to Tahoe if it doesn’t get fixed soon and sleep in a hammock I swear.

Big oof. Shit was pretty nice and then suddenly jumps to triple digits. I’m just glad my apartment has a pool. Walking my dogs the last couple days, I can practically feel my brain steaming inside my skull.
