Zephyr
I hesitated about this ride a long time ago. I do like talking to strangers, but only the ones I’m interested in. Had some nice conversations. Got picked up by loads of strangers. Learned about the Gold Rush, the influx of immigrants into the dry and seemingly uninhabitable inland. The Italian neighborhood and the church where the woman sitting next to me got baptized and married.
‘Are you Catholic?’
‘Yes, I am.’
