You mean good things happening? I hope there are good things happening everyday! And there probably are! Like you said i dont hear about it cause its not getting covered. Im sure there is a subreddit for good news too lol This article covers a mall that is 15 minutes away from my home that ive been to hundreds of times as a teen. I cant imagine if i was a teen now and i went there and heard gun shots??? Yeah so america is fucking crazy. I still stand by my comment. I love america. It has given me so much opportunity to thrive and chase my dreams, but the fear and paranoia in the back of my mind still lingers. I dont have children, but i cant imagine what parents have to worry about with their kids. Maybe I’ll just follow that good news subreddit….

I don't even think that photo is even Massachusetts.I have spent my whole life driving the back roads and woods of W.Mass and never have seen a scene like that.

Well see in the 1670's there were a ring of about a dozen "praying" (Christianized) towns, including Mashpee, Natick, and Nonantum, that had thrown in for mutual defense with the English colonists. Some went to Roxbury Latin and Harvard, where they learned Greek, Latin, and Hebrew. But then during King Phillips' War (against other, non-praying communities) the colonists decided they didn't really trust their own local allies, and put them out on deer island for the winter, and they died. (Okay, they forced some of them men to act as scouts, at pain of killing their families.)

Anyway Natick is a cool name, I like it too.

Little abashed cause when I saw Nick Offerman at first I didn't recognize him. Then I was like .. this guy is a nutcase survivalist , and you know who they should have gotten to play ... oh. What a perfect casting job.

Dude I was on Google maps the moment I saw that , and was like .. Newton? Huh? No kidding . .HBO has outdone itself with this show. You could think it's a ridiculous rehash of Walking Dead with its 1 billion seasons, but last nights episode was absolutely amazing. A movie in itself that needs to be re-watched.

The secret is first chair. Get out there as soon as the lifts open, and you get an hour or two of untouched corduroy and almost no one around. Yeah you have to drag your ass out of bed, but it’s totally worth it.
