Reformed Californian. She’s got some funny stuff out there.

I have been following her for a while. I think she is in Tennessee. Haven't been able to figure out if she really is from California or she is a Tennessee native spoofing people from California. Every now and then her southern accent pops out

She’s in Franklin, Tn and is an actual comic. Most of the stuff she says is “funny because it’s true”.

Tennessee has a ton of recovering Californians.

The Ole Miss sticker thing is a hoot.

_——remember part of EASY RIDER was filmed in the Franklin/Morgan City area!

I would guess it was filmed there because Easy Rider is based on Steinbeck's Travels with Charlie. You may remember our former VP, Steve Landry, and his wife who was a nurse in the clinic, Paula. Paula's mom was the nurse for the MD in the book, an old friend of Steinbeck's in the Houma-Thibodeaux area. Paula can still remember Steinbeck visiting when she was a child.

And of course, Travels ends in New Orleans, just as Easy Rider (almost) does. But instead of visiting during Mardi Gras, Steinbeck was there in time to document the 'Cheerleader Protests,' when a tiny little girl, Ruby Bridges, became the first person to desegregate New Orleans public schools.

Not a pleasant part of Louisiana's history. Norman Rockwell, who had previously avoided political issues, broke that tradition and depicted innocent Ruby in this painting 'The Problem We All Live With':

And BTW, what was the first school in the nation to desegregate after SCOTUS ruled on Brown v Board/Topeka, and the 1st historically white school in the South to desegregate in any meaningful way?
