good girls

E & H, Charlottesville 250 bypass, 1987

How much does parenting contribute to the person who emerges from childhood? I hope that playing late at night next to Route 250 was good prep for Emma.
Regarding her whereabouts, generally I know she is hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.
Recent fires and earthquakes (really the fires, she slept through the earthquake) have flushed her out of the back country. She phoned home. Playing on the side of the Ten, ready to dive into the city of angels.
Good girls.
