ok california you are great! too cold, but still great

ok, let’s be real, california has some THINGS:

• great people
• flowers
• cows
• the redwoods
• great salads
• an appreciation for beauty in the everyday
• croissants in plenitude (though didn’t strike croissant gold this time)
• impossible produce — just like — beautiful AND delicious. it has the power to flip me into being a fruit person. i mean i bought grapes once i got home, because i was so inspired. and made a very C+ smoothie this morning!
• legal marijuana, still WHOA
• (seemingly) good politics (though can we get justice for kevin cooper?)
