    Just a normal sandwich eating Californian

    I’m John, and I like to believe that my existence in this insane State of California just pisses of Gavin Newsom just enough that it brings me joy. Born and raised in Southern California, but have lived in Kenya and PNW and yet I return every time like a yo-yo. I am not a cowboy, I was not...
