@JoannaPgh Gold Beach by the redwood national park is great beach camping. Rough road to get in but I did it in a Honda Civic

[Corrie Parrish @Corrie_Parrish]

@schmangee My friend wanted to learn to drive so I let her practice. I didn't explain that when you pull off to the side of the road, you need to slow down first. Needless to say, the car ended up in a ditch. Luckily us, property, were fine and some nice strangers helped pull the car out

Adulting is offering a time for coffee to someone but then a meeting that never pops up at that time, pops up at that time... 😒

@cityplannerd I would look to see if there is a bike swap in your area. I got my Raleigh (value = $1,200) for $300 at such an event.

Definitely learned this the hard way. Also, don't settle for someone who is emotionally unavailable... also learned this the hard way.

Denver, here I come Thanksgiving week '22!

If this all day rain is an indicator for anything, it’s that I’m probably not built for living in the PNW

[Corrie Parrish @Corrie_Parrish]

Just think about the last line here for a second…

[Corrie Parrish @Corrie_Parrish]

@TransitN3rd The irony in that last line 🫠

[Corrie Parrish @Corrie_Parrish]

I walked to five different houses to give away tomatoes. Two of those houses peered through their window and walked away thinking I wanted to sell them something.

It’s days like this I miss living in Pittsburgh. Yinz don’t know how to be neighborly out here

[Corrie Parrish @Corrie_Parrish]

@Grecia_White That’s a keeper

@schmangee Elon Musk

@schmangee We all just need to cancel Robert Moses 😂😂

[Corrie Parrish @Corrie_Parrish]

@schmangee Powerful story... but no "villain."

Your image of trucks in your book do provide some "bad guy" context in the form of storytelling but we need more of that

[Corrie Parrish @Corrie_Parrish]

@schmangee Truth to that too. I was at dinner with 4 others not that long ago and 4/5 of us have had life altering injuries as a result of collisions with cars. 3 of us on bikes.

[Corrie Parrish @Corrie_Parrish]

@SarcasmDood LOLZ what do you think your taxes went to when we bailed out Wall Street, the auto industry, the gas companies... the list goes on my man. Student loan forgiveness is the least of this country's debt problems

[Corrie Parrish @Corrie_Parrish]

Everyone who is #BidenDestroysAmerica bc he forgave $10-20K in student loans probably had some sort of family supported financial help if they went to college... just sayin'

Think about your logic. Supporting students is supporting the future. It is an investment to our country

[Corrie Parrish @Corrie_Parrish]

@drbtsplanning Depends on the PhD. There's the Eisenhower fellowship but that's transportation specific.

Also, as someone who has gone through the process-- don't accept if they don't give you a full ride. You'll still need support past the tuition and stipend but they should cover that part

[Corrie Parrish @Corrie_Parrish]

@contrerasforca Don't forget to stop and grab your avocado toast too

[Corrie Parrish @Corrie_Parrish]

@contrerasforca Don't get me wrong: I am happy to have $20K of my $100K+ student loans forgiven. But yes, he can and should do more. We could like, just forgive it all, and then he wouldn't have to continuously make announcements about it
