   I'm currently sitting on an Amtrak train, on the last leg of my journey.

   The last time I was on one of these, I was cleaning it. Before Forbes, before AMD, before Thunderbird, I was cleaning Amtrak trains overnight for minimum wage.

   It was dirty and exhausting, but I didn't hate the work. i had solitude, and I had my music all night.

   This brings back so many memories. And it amplifies my appreciation for where I am in my life.

     @popey Fresno, where I was born and raised. Not a glamorous place, but it's home <3

     Enjoy your time in Portland! Damn, we're NOT actually that far from each other in the grand scheme of things.

     @hardyharrSTFU First: love your Steam Deck avatar.

     Second: I wish there was an English word for it as well.

     if anyone has a word for this, perhaps it's the Portuguese. I say this because their language has the beautiful word "saudade."

     It's defined as "an emotional state of melancholic or profoundly nostalgic longing for a beloved yet absent something or someone."

     @killyourfm I wish there was a word for this. Experiencing something you once knew from side A, now on side B. It’s a unique and most times humbling/grateful experience.

     @killyourfm @popey Fresno, CA? That's about the same distance as the minimal distance between UK and Croatia. 😁
