Each time, I would have to explain that I had permission to be there (provide name of land owner), who I was, what I was doing (often having to show them the animals I had in hand to prove it), and wait. Wait for the call-in and confirmation.
After so many visits, one cop eventually said he’d leave a note with dispatch so...

I feel like the main character in this book im reading is secretly me in my dream life… ny in the late 80s and then moving to Seattle in the early 90s? Being involved with music? Listening to the same bands as me and dating guys that I can only dream about?
Is this a fucking joke? How did I come across this book? Excuse me, I’m going to go cry in my depression.

I’m reading a book called B-Sides and Broken Hearts and the main character is talking about going to a Mudhoney show and how her and her boyfriend consider Mudhoney a “National treasure” I can tell that I’m going to enjoy this book.
I hope you do!
