the produce market ever being a pleasant event. It was one of the places I had to fight misogyny with every word I spoke. Many had a hard time seeing little 105# me hop up on the dock to do business. It was like I was some kind of blasphemous ogre or something. Glad I don't have to deal with all of that now.

And I am really thankful to have a place to live that has heat and amenities!
