There was a car with a flat tire at the trailhead today. “That sucks” I thought and started on my run. Passed two Gen-Z chicks coming down the canyon about two miles in. The car with the flat was the only other car at the trailhead so it must be theirs. “That sucks” I thought and kept on about my run. I got back about an hour later and the two chicks are sitting in their car, doors open, all distraught.

“Are you alright?” I asked.

“Yeah… we’re fine… we’re just… it’s fine” the girl in the driver’s seat replies with wide eyes like I’m definitely a serial killer.

It was clearly not fine.

“You have a plan to get down?”

“Yeah, we’ll call someone.”

There’s no cell service for 10 miles in any direction.

“Do you have a spare?” I asked.

“Uhm, I’m not sure. It’s fine” she replies.

It’s a 2016/17-ish Honda HR-V. The spare tire is under the cargo floor.

“You do. I can put it on for you if you want.”

The two chicks stare at each other. “Uhm… no, that’s ok” the driver says to the passenger in the tone of a question.

“You sure? It will take me ten minutes” I said insistently but trying not be a creep.

The two chicks stare at each other some more. (They clearly would have chosen the bear.)

“Or I can call the ranger when I get down to Pasadena.”

The two chicks stare at each other some more. They whisper in girl code. They look me up and down. They stare back at each other. The passenger finally speaks: “uhm, so… would you mind helping us change the tire?”

“Yeah, it’s no problem.”

I have them open the cargo. They dug out enough hiking supplies to hike the PCT.

“You have enough gear to survive out here for a week” I joked.

The two chicks stared at each other. They looked at me. They looked back at each other. In girl code they agreed it’s safe to chuckle. “Hehe, yeah” one of them says.

By the time I got the car lifted, they had let their guard down a little and thanked me “seriously so so so so much.” They told me they had no idea how to change a tire. They’ve never had to change a tire before but one of them did have a dead battery once in college and had to have her dad drive over an hour to come give her a jump.

Ten minutes later, the tire was changed and they seemed genuinely surprised I didn’t kill them. They thanked me again “seriously so so so so much” and assured me that I “have no idea, omg” and then they were on their way.

It made realize how much it sucks to be a woman where every man is a threat until proven otherwise. I don’t blame them for being cautious, but I do blame them for venturing into the mountains with $1000 worth of REI products, but no clue how to change a tire.

Teach your daughters how to change a tire ffs!

June 13th is the feast of Saint Anthony of Padua, Doctor of the Church and patron of infertile women, the poor, travelers, masons, bakers, and paper makers.

Here are 5 fascinating facts about one of the most beloved saints among Catholics 🕊️

1️⃣ Portuguese Origins: Born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1195, as Fernando Martins de Bulhões, he is widely known as Saint Anthony of Padua. Despite his strong association with Padua, his roots trace back to Portugal.

2️⃣ Change of Order: Initially an Augustinian monk, Anthony joined the Franciscans after meeting five Franciscan missionaries who were martyred in Morocco. Inspired by their sacrifice, he changed his name to Anthony and dedicated his life to the Franciscan order.

3️⃣ Doctor of the Church: Known as the "Evangelical Doctor" for his profound knowledge of the Scriptures and exceptional oratory skills, he is one of the 36 Doctors of the Church. His teachings and sermons have had a lasting impact on Christian theology.

4️⃣ Protector of Lost Items: Universally invoked to find lost items, this tradition originates from an episode where a stolen manuscript was miraculously recovered after his prayers. Saint Anthony’s intercession is sought by many for the recovery of lost things.

5️⃣ Rapid Canonization: Anthony was canonized by Pope Gregory IX just one year after his death in 1232, marking one of the fastest canonization processes in Church history. His immediate recognition reflects his profound holiness and impact.

Let's honor Saint Anthony of Padua, whose legacy continues to inspire and guide us. 🙏✨

[EWTN Global Catholic Network @EWTN]

Today is the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua. He is popularly invoked today by those who have trouble finding lost objects, but he's also the patron of lost SOULS. Today, pray for his intercession for someone who has fallen away from the faith.

We honor today St. Joseph the Worker. May he intercede for all who labor to provide for themselves and for the needs of others.  May he remind us that work is for human flourishing; it is never an end in itself.

Jesus reveals to us that God is not a detached master who speaks to us from on high. He is a loving Father who draws near to us, comes into our homes, wants to save and liberate us, and heals us from every ill of body and spirit. #GospelOfTheDay

In my little neighbor circle, I’m the only Black dude.

When their daughters are having my daughter over for a play date, they don’t see color.

When we’re BBQing in the summer, we don’t see color.

When our wives are all having brunch, they don’t see color.

When the dads are all gathered around outside the dance studio for our daughters (because we all refuse to go in), we don’t see color.

When we’re going to the range, we don’t see color.

If left alone, most people simply see you as a friend and neighbor. They’re not thinking about your color unless it’s pertinent to the conversation.

Don’t let the race baiters keep racism alive. Let’s end it.

The Week of Prayer for #ChristianUnity begins today, which this year highlights love for God and neighbour. Let us #PrayTogether that Christians may reach full communion and bear witness of love towards all, especially the most fragile.

[Catholic News Service @CatholicNewsSvc]

PopeFrancis: Falling in love is one of the purest feelings. A person in love becomes generous, enjoys giving gifts, writes letters & poems, stops thinking of himself to be completely focused on the other. And if you ask a person in love why he loves, he will not find an answer.

At #Christmas, God reveals Himself as the One who humbles Himself, descending to earth small and poor. Therefore, in order to be like Him, we must humble ourselves, serve others, and become small with the little ones and poor with those in need.
