Down here, it doesn’t matter. Down here, we’re loving when a town turns into a dungeon, keeping the Ramus Shop vibes intact, starting a signal fire, CAPITALIZING words ARBITRARILY, ethically debating nude fortune telling, yacking all over shoes, asking for booze, screaming like a cat in heat, frying bastards alive, exploring tomato broiling technology, really getting into the weeds with flame broilers, getting dad stoned, reading Mel’s book titles, and reminiscing Larry Johnson and the value of physical nostalgia. Get out there and be the hero you always talk about becoming.
