went for a hike by the lazy Schuylkill, noticed the new pedestrian bridge that crosses over into valley forge, discovered an abandoned train station and village that I didn’t know about then spent the last couple of hours in a bar reading down the rabbit hole of the history of a tiny 19th century industrial town called port kennedy that’s now a part of valley forge national historical park

if you’re a way better person after you left politics perhaps your politics weren’t very good
