Today, however, I am taking a box of tomatoes to my neighbor because I just can&#39;t deal with the tomatoes anymore.

I got on a train without a ticket or a plan. On the train, I noticed some people my age who were wearing U2 T-shirts. I approached them and asked if they could help me get a ticket. As fate would have it, they had an extra ticket, which I bought for $7 (a detail you don’t forget). 2026-07-08T01:24:40Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9qhff28vajpuppcqhu8l8c7myhthewnehesrztcl2kc2a8upv5yszypwu7yshnlqy2djecqhmk3etzrwf8aga3q6jsa5ka9lm27z43gkusm6usws It was 41 years ago today that I saw U2 perform live for the first time.
