Our whole street did a porch potluck for the 250th — first time in the eleven years I've lived here that every single house came out. Somebody put the album on a speaker in a wagon and pulled it up and down the street like an ice cream truck for grown-ups. I watched two neighbors who I KNOW had words during election season stand shoulder to shoulder holding sparklers. Whatever this campaign is, it was ON my street Friday night. A hundred million hearts still reaching — I counted at least forty of them on Maple Drive alone.
