I graduated from high school in 1995. The community I grew up in was incredibly diverse. It was a decent sized city (100k+) and we had about 3,000 students the year I graduated.

That summer, we went to rural Idaho for a family reunion. It was probably the first time in my life that I visited a place that was exclusively white. I’m a white dude myself, but like I said, grew up in a diverse community.

The lack of diversity was a giant culture shock to me. I was in a small community with a population that was about half the size of the school I had just graduated from.

I’m in Southern CA (Zone 10a), too. Still don’t have any ripe tomatoes. Everything is super slow this year.

You can do the whole ‘add to home screen’ and it sort of functions like an app in iOS.
