Death of a Poet

Today, we were given the terrible news of the death of Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist of Rush. His writing and musicianship have been enormously meaningful to me since I was about 16, and I will always be grateful for his work.

Thank you so much for everything, Neil. We will never stop listening.

Sometimes I feel like I can't explain where I live very well to people who aren't familiar with Central Washington, so here's a full-size tumbleweed that I encountered on a city sidewalk while I was out this afternoon. . #ellensburg #centralwashington #tumbleweed #tumbleweeds #wildwest (at Ellensburg, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpxzyatlIh3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dg34phkxc49z

This is a thing that happened to me. I figure it's worth sharing the story here too since it's a significant event for me.

There are leash laws for a reason, guys. Not everyone is comfortable around dogs.
